المستخلص: Myocardial infarction (MI) is a necrosis of myocardial cell secondary to interruption of coronary blood supply caused by ischemia, Myocardial ischemia occurs when the oxygen supply to the heart is not sufficient to meet metabolic needs. The most common underlying cause of myocardial ischemia is obstruction of the coronary arteries by atherosclerosis.Many genetic factors that affect Blood Pressure, these Genetic factors include an inappropriately high activity of the Renin - angiotensin - system (RAS) and susceptibility to the effects of salts in the circulation.The aim of the study is to evaluate the role of Angiotensin converting enzyme - 1 (ACE - 1) polymorphism on the level of angiotensin II (Ang II), and the relation between Plasminogen activator inhibitor - 1 (PAI - 1) concentration and Ang II in (MI) and hypertension patients.This study was conducted in Hilla city, from the 1st of November 2016until 25th of February 2017. The MI samples were collected from the coronary care Unit (CCU) in Marjan Teaching Hospital in Babylon / Hilla city and Shaheed al mehrab center. The patients with hypertension sample were collected from Advisory Unit in the Marjan hospital. The control subject samples were collected from out of the hospitals.The study includes (100) males ageing between (50 - 60 years) and BMI (18.5 - 24.9) : 25 control, 75 patient groups, the groups of patient subdivided into {25 hypertensive patients for 10 to 15 years (group A), 25 hypertensive patients for ≥20 years (group B), 25 patients with MI plus hypertension (group C)}.XIIThe sera obtained from the blood of all groups were used to measure the concentrations of plasminogen activator inhibitor 1, angiotensin II, and lipid profile, while whole blood samples from study subjects were used to extract DNA for the study of polymorphisms in the angiotensin converting enzyme gene.The results show : 1. There is a significant increase in the mean of Ang II, PAI - 1 in groups (A, B and C) as compared to the control group, (p<0.01), but there was no significant difference between A and B groups2. The significant increase (P <0.01) in total cholesterol (TC), TG, LDL - C and VLDL - C, while serum HDL - C concentration was found to significantly decrease (P<0.01) in A, B and C groups as compared with the control groups, and no significant increase or decrease in lipid profiles in comparison between A and B groups.3. Groups (A, B and C) show significant positive correlations (p<0.01) (R = 0.7848, R= 0.6855, R = 0.8871) of Ang II concentration with PAI - 1 concentration respectively.In the genetic part of the study, genotypes angiotensin - converting enzyme gene determined by allele specific polymerase chain reactionThe result observed significantly increase of ACE - 1 deletion - deletion (DD) in group (C) (88%) compared with the control groups (44%), while there were no significant difference in the groups (A, B) compared with the control group, also the result showed ACE - 1 (DD) genotype was (66%),XIIIinsertion - deletion (ID) genotype was (34%) and ACE insertion - insertion II genotype was (0%) in all the study groupsConclusion : the (DD) genotype of the Angiotensin - converting enzyme - 1(ACE - 1) polymorphism was the most frequent among Babylon patients with myocardial infarction. This suggests that Babylon individuals with the (DD) genotype might be at high risk for myocardial infarction. Furthermore, D allele of the ACE - 1 polymorphism might confer increased risk for MIPlasminogen activator inhibitor - 1 (PAI - 1) may consider as a risk factor for myocardial infarction. And there was a positive correlation between Ang II and PAI - 1in all patient groups. Therefore DD genotype is lead to an increase of PAI - 1 level.

المستخلص: Rheumatoid arthritis is a systemic autoimmune disease affects 0.5 - 1% of the worldwide population, characterized by chronic inflammation of the synovial joints, hyperplasia and overgrowth of synoviocytes, with destruction of articular cartilage of unknown etiology that can cause serious weakness and inability to work. Tumor necrosis factor - α (TNF - α) proinflammatory cytokines, that plays an important role in the inflammatory and immune responses in several diseases, including RA are responsible for progress of RA.The present study aims to estimated the levels of TNF - α and anti - cyclic citrullinated peptide (ACCPA) in patients with RA and healthy controls in the case - control study.The present study also aims to investigate the possible association between TNF - α levels and ( - 308 G/A) TNF - α promoter polymorphism in patients with RA in Babylon Province.This study was designed as a case control. Forty - five (10 males and 35 females) patients with RA and forty - five ( 9 males and 36 females) apparently healthy persons as control with the compatible age and sex were enrolled in this study. Measurement the levels of TNF - α and (ACCP) antibodies were estimated by enzyme - linked immunoassay ELISA technique. Measurement of rheumatoid factor (RF) was assayed by use slide agglutination test for the qualitative and semi quantitative. Whereas, C - reactive protein (CRP) was determined using latex - enhanced nephelometry. Disease severity score of RA patients was determined by use DAS - 28. DNA was isolated from white blood cells (WBCs) and TNF - α ( - 308 G/A) gene promoter polymorphism was determined by polymerasechain reaction - restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR - RFLP) technique.The present study was found a significantly high levels of serum TNF - α and ACCPA in patients with RA when compared to healthy controls. The RF of patients with RA in the present study was found to be positive in 69.3% and negative in 30.7 % in overall RA patients, whereas was negative in 97.2% and positive in 2.8% of healthy control. The CRP of patients with RA in the present study was found to be positive in 75% and negative in 25 % of overall patients with RA and was positive in 11% and negative in 89% of healthy control. Correlation between TNF - α levels with both of DAS - 28 and ACCPA in RA patients found to be a significant positive correlation. Correlation between DAS - 28 and ACCPA in RA patients was a significant positive correlation. The genotype of ( - 308 G/A) TNF - α gene promoter polymorphisms the GG genotype was 60% in RA patients and 42.2% in control group, while the GA genotype was 40% in RA patients and 53.3% in control group. The AA genotype was 0% in RA patients and 4.4% in control group. The relation between both of TNF - α levels and DAS - 28 with genotyping of ( - 308 G/A) TNF - α gene promoter polymorphism in RA patients were found to be a non - significant correlation.Based on the results of the present study, it can be concluded that Babylon RA patients may have different genetic or environmental factors contributing to the pathogenesis of RA. Further studies are necessary to search for other genetic polymorphisms and/or genes that contribute to the increased expression of TNF - α and hence the pathogenesis of RA in Babylon patients. The TNF - α ( - 308 G/A) promoter polymorphism may not be associated with the presence of RA in Babylon patients. An increase in the circulating TNF - α concentration, the capacity to produce TNF - α in the WBC, or the cytotoxic activity of TNF - α were found. Thus, other factors may be important in determining the circulating levels of TNF - α in RA. And this SNP cannot affect the serum level of TNF - α in RA patients. In addition, the different genotypes of TNF - α ( - 308 G/A) have no influence on disease activity of the disease.

المستخلص: Hydatidiform mole is a premalignant condition, refers to an abnormal pregnancy characterized by varying degrees of abnormal trophoblastic proliferation. Several potential etiologic risk factors have been evaluated for the development of Hydatidiform Mole. These include the extreme of maternal age, prior Hydatidiform Mole, deficiency of Beta - carotene and animal fat intake.The aims of this study were to assess nutritional status as a possible cause of partial Hydatidiform mole and to investigate the changes in these markers in the first trimester pregnant women compared to non - pregnant.This study was conducted in Babylon Maternity and Pediatrics Teaching Hospital in Babylon Province and Al Zahraa teaching hospital in Al Najaf Province from the first of September 2016 to the end of March 2017.This study included 75 subjects, 25 were patients diagnosed with partial hydatidiform mole, the other 25 pregnant women in the first trimester were healthy subject (first control group), and the remainder 25 non pregnant women were healthy subject (second control group). Patients who suffered from metabolic or endocrine disease, renal dysfunction, and BMI > 30 were excluded.The sera obtained from the fasting blood of subjects were used to measure the level of homocysteine, Retinol binding protein, pre albumin, and albumin).The results of the present study showed that the mean age of patients group was (27.44 ± 5.36) years, ranging from 18 - 39 years and the peak incidence of partial hydatidiform mole between 22 - 29 years. The majority (76%) of patient with partial hydatidiform mole came from rural area. Accident finding at ultrasonography was the commonest way of presentation (44%) followed by vaginal bleeding (40%) while (16%)XIhyperemesis gravidram. the mean level of retinol binding protein was non significantly higher in the control group (366.4 ± 118.2 ng/ml vs. 326.5 ± 109.4 ng/ml; P=0.222). The Prealbumin levels were significantly lower in the pregnant patient women with partial hydatidiform mole compared with healthy pregnant women control group (18.71 ± 5.08 mg/dl vs. 23.40 ± 2.39 mg/dl; P < 0.001). There were no significant differences between blood levels of homocysteine and albumin in patient's women compared to healthy pregnant women (7.3 ± 2.0 mmol/l vs. 6.5 ± 1.92 mmol/l, P = 0.146), (3.98 ± 0.56 g/dl vs. 4.10 ± 0.25 g/dl, P = 0.337) respectively. The mean plasma homocysteine levels between first trimester pregnant women and non - pregnant was statistically lower (6.5 ± 1.92 mmol/l vs 10.02 ± 2.48 mmol/l; P < 0.001) respectively. The mean of serum albumin levels between first trimester pregnant women and non - pregnant was found statistically significant difference (4.10 ± 0.25 g/dl vs 4.58 ± 0.44 g/dl; P < 0.001) respectively. In conclusion, the highest percentage of patients with Partial Hydatidiform Mole belonging to the rural area, in nulliparous and low parous patients having 1 - 2 children. This study suggests that there was an association between prealbumin and Partial Hydatidiform Mole. There was no association between homocysteine and Partial Hydatidiform Mole.

المستخلص: مرض السكري هو مرض مزمن يتميز بارتفاع مستوى السكر في الدم ويصيب حوالي 415 مليون بالغ في جميع انحاء العالم. ان ارتفاع مستويات السكر في الدم هي نتيجة لعدم كفاية انتاج الانسولين او عدم كفاءة تاثير الانسولين الهرمون الذي يصنع في البنكرياس. يؤدي مرض السكري الى مضاعفات في معظم اجهزة الجسم البشري مثل القلب والعين والكلى والجهاز العصبي مما يؤدي الى ارتفاع التكاليف والاعباء على المريض. وبالتالي ان تشخيص المرض في المراحل المبكرة امر ضروري جدا.تهداف الدراسة الحالية الى : 1. تقيم مستوى هرمونات الانسولين ، الكلوكاكون، والرزستين والبيتاتروفين في مرضى السكري من النوع الثاني ومجموعة السيطرة من الاصحاء.2. مقارنة مستوى هرمون البيتاتروفين في المرضى الذين يعانون من السكري النوع الثاني بمجموعة الاصحاء وكذالك ارتباطه بمؤشرات الايض الاخرى.3. . دراسة امكانية وجود علاقة قد تظهر بين الهرمونات في المرضى الذين يعانون مرضى السكري من النوع الثاني. اجريت هذه الدراسة في مدينة الحلة، من سبتمبر 2016 حتى اكتوبر 2016. تم جمع العينات من مركز بابل للسكري والغدد الصماء في مستشفى مرجان التعليمي في مدينة الحلة/ محافظة بابل. شملت هذه الدراسة 90 شخصا (45 ذكور و45 اناث) وممن تتراوح اعمارهم بين (40 - 60) سنة ومؤشر كتلة الجسم (25 - 29.9 كغم/م2) وتم تقسيمهم الى مجموعتين، المجموعة الاولى مجموعة المرضى تتكون من 50 شخص (25 من الذكور و25من الاناث) الذين يعانون من مرض السكري النوع الثاني والمجموعة الثانية مجموعة السيطرة 40 شخص (20 من الذكور، 20من الاناث) الاصحاء ظاهريا.تم اخذ العينات من المرضى والاصحاء في حالة الصيام حيث تم تحديد مستوى السكر بطريقة الانزيم المؤكسد للكلوكوز، في حين تم تحديد الهيموكلوبين المسكر باستخدام طريقة التبادل الايوني. وتم تحديد هرمون الانسولين ، الكلوكون، والرزستين ، والبيتاتروفين باستخدام تقنية الفحص المناعي (الاليزا) كما تم حساب مقاومة الانسولين عن طريق حسابها بمعادلة. اظهرت نتائج الدراسة الحالية زيادة معنوية في متوسط مستويات الانسولين والكلوكاكون والرزستين والبيتاتروفين، وكذلك مقاومة الانسولين للمرضى الذين يعانون من مرض السكري من النوع الثاني بالمقارنة مع المجموعات المسيطرة. كذلك لم تكن هناك ارتباطات كبيرة بين الانسولين وكل من الكلوكاكون والرزستين والبيتاتروفين. بينما قلت نسبة الكلوكاكون الى الانسولين بشكل معنوي. وكان هناك ميل نحو الارتباطات السلبية او الايجابية بين الانسولين وكل من الكلوكون والرزستين والبيتاتروفين في مجموعة المرضى. ان نسب هرمونات البيتاتروفين والكلوكاكون والرزستين ونسبة الكلوكاكون الى الانسولين قد تكون بمثابة علامة بايولوجية للمضاعفات المرتبطة في مرض السكري النوع الثاني، اذ من الممكن ان تساعد في تحديد مستوى السيطرة على نسبة السكر في مرضى السكري من النوع الثاني. العلاجات التي تعمل على منع عمل الكلوكاكون او اتباع استراتيجية لتثبيط الكلوكاكون جنبا الى جنب مع زيادة افراز الانسولين قد تكون مفيدة في علاج مرض السكري. كما ان تقليل الرزستين في الدم قد يلعب دورا في علاج مرض السكري بالاضافة الى ان واحدة من الخيارات العلاجية لعلاج السكر من النوع الثاني توصي لخفض مؤشر كتلة الجسم وتقليل مقاومة الانسولين.توصي هذه الدراسة لاجراء تحليل هرموني كامل كعمل روتيني لفهم الحالة الهرمونية للمرضى الذين يعانون من السكري النوع الثاني التي قد تساعد الطبيب على علاج هؤلاء المرضى ووصف الدواء الانسب لهم | Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a chronic disease characterized by high blood glucose and affects 415 million adults around the world. Raised levels of blood glucose result from the insufficient production of insulin or resistance to insulin action, a hormone framed by the pancreas. DM lead to complications in most organs of the human body such as(macro complication such as heart and micro complication such as eye, kidney, and nervous system which have resulted in high cost and burden, therefore, diagnosis of disease in early stages is very essential. The aim of the present case - control study is : 1. Assessment the level of insulin, glucagon, resistin, and betatrophin hormones. This may categorize patients according to the hormonal status which may aid in the treatment of patients with T2DM, and prescribe them the drug of choice.2. Compare the level of circulating betatrophin in patients with DMT2 and healthy control and it is association of the betatrophin with different metabolic parameters.3. Study the possibility of correlation may present among hormones in patients with T2DM. This study was conducted in Hilla city, from September 2016 till October 2016. The samples were collected from Babylon Center for Diabetes and Endocrinology in Marjan Teaching Hospital in Hilla city Babylon Province.This study was included 90 (45 males, 45 females) subjects, who were (40 - 60) years old and BMI between (25 - 29.9) which were divided into two groups 50 (25 males, 25females) patients with T2DM, and 40 (20 males, 20females) apparently healthy persons as a control group. Fasting blood glucose was determined by use glucose oxidase method, whereas, the determination of HbA1C was done using binding cation - exchange resin method. Serum insulin, glucagon, resistin, and betatrophin were determined using enzyme - linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) technique. Insulin resistance (IR) was calculated by using the homeostasis model assessment (HOMA) index. The results of the present study were shown a significant increase in the mean levels of insulin, glucagon, resistin, betatrophin, and IR of patients with T2DM as compared to the control groups. Glucagon to insulin ratio (GIR) was found to be significantly decreased in DM patients when compared with healthy controls. There were no significant correlations between insulin and each of glucagon, resistin, and betatrophin, and there was the only trend toward negative or positive correlations between insulin and each of glucagon, resistin, and betatrophin in patients with T2DM. Betatrophin, glucagon, resistin, and glucagon - to - insulin ratios may serve as a biomarker for T2DM complications and aid to determine the level of glycemic control in patient with T2DM. The present study advises to carry out a complete hormonal analysis as routine work to understand the hormonal status of patients with T2DM which may aid the physician to treat those patients and to prescribe them the drug of choice. A drug that act to block glucagon action may be useful in the treatment of patient DM. A drug decreased serum resistin may also play a role in the treatment of DM and to lower BMI and less IR

المستخلص: Background : The most common childhood cancer is acute lymphoblastic leukemia which is only treated with chemotherapy alone.All modern protocols of acute lymphoblastic leukemia treatment used thiopurine drugs as an essential anti - cancer drug which used for a long period of time. The 6 - Mercaptopurine is an anti - cancer drug widely used for treating acute lymphoblastic leukemia patients. The patients with low Thiopurine S - Methyltransferase enzyme activity is with an increased risk of developing drug toxicity and consequently unsuccessful acute lymphoblastic leukemia outcome and even death.Thiopurine S - Methyltransferase is one of the main enzymes involved in 6 - mercaptopurine metabolism, and the low activity of this enzyme is strongly correlated to the Thiopurine S - Methyltransferase genetic polymorphism.Aim : Find out the three most common Thiopurine S - Methyltransferase enzyme polymorphism TPMT*3A, TPMT*3B and TPMT*3C in Iraqi pediatric patients with acute lymphoblastic leukemia, and its frequencies. Analyses of Thiopurine S - Methyltransferase activity in the serum of those patients, and compare the results with other population. Methods : This is a cross - sectional study included eighty - one (81) Iraqi pediatric patients with acute lymphoblastic leukemia during the maintenance phase of their UKALL protocol treatment, receiving 6 - Mercaptopurine drug with age range from 1.83 (1year and 10 months) to 16.25 (16 years and 3 months). Thiopurine S - Methyltransferase activity was measured in the patients’ serum by Enzyme - Linked Immunosorbent Assay technique and three of Thiopurine SMethyltransferase genetic polymorphisms were detected by allelespecific multiplex - PCR analysis after DNA extraction from the whole blood. Liver Function Tests were measured by calorimetric method; Alanine Aminotransferase, Aspartate Aminotransferase, Alkaline Phosphatase and Total Serum Bilirubin in addition to Complete BloodCount measured by automated hematology system. Results : There was significant difference in the mean of Thiopurine S - Methyltransferase activity between pediatric patients carrying the wild - type allele TPMT*1 (n=49), with allele frequencies of 60.4% and pediatric patients (n=32) carrying the mutant alleles (TPMT*3A or TPMT*3C) with allele frequencies of 81.2% and 18.7% respectively. The TPMT*3B allele was not detected in this group. The P - value was highly significant (P<0.000**).Conclusion : This study is the first to analyze Thiopurine SMethyltransferase mutant gene frequency in a sample of the Iraqi population, and it revealed the presence of TPMT*3A and TPMT*3C genetic polymorphism but not a TPMT*3B mutant allele. Thiopurine S - Methyltransferase activity was low in the patients with mutant gene as compared with the wild - type allele patients. Finally, genotype and phenotype of Thiopurine S - Methyltransferase enzyme is an essential predictor to reduce the cytotoxic effects of the anticancer drug and successful acute lymphoblastic leukemia treatment.

The most effective way to combat cancer is its prevention and early detection. During the last decade, biochemical markers of breast cancer have attracted the attention of many researchers. Among these biomarkers, the interest points to Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor (VEGF), Macrophage Colony Stimulating Factor (M - CSF), Matrix Metalloproteinase - 2 (MMP - 2), Tissue Inhibitors of Metalloproteinase - 2 (TIMP - 2). Growing evidence indicates that measurement of VEGF maybe the best candidate for BC diagnosis (better than CA 15 - 3) especially in stages I and II as well as in the differentiation between BC and benign breast tumor. More recently it has been reported that TIMP - 2 maybe useful in early diagnosis of BC and differentiation of breast cancer stages. The aim of this study are to : (1) Measure the plasma concentrations of some of new biomarkers including : Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor (VEGF), Matrix Metalloproteinase - 2 (MMP - 2), Tissue Inhibitor of Metalloproteinase - 2 (TIMP - 2) and Macrophage - Colony Stimulating Factor (M - CSF) in addition to CA 15 - 3 in women patients with breast tumor in compare son with healthy control women, (2) Investigate the diagnostic utility of each of the measured biomarker (and in combination with each other) in detection of breast tumor and (3) Correlate the findings with the clinicopathological parameters (age, menopause, marital status, stages, tumor size, Estrogen Receptor (ER), Progesterone Receptor (PR) and Her - 2/neu receptor) in those patients.Subjects and Methods : Eighty - eight Iraqi women were enrolled in the study; 38 women with primary breast cancer (BC, Group I), 25 women with Fibroadenoma (FA) benign breast tumor (FA, Group II) and 25 apparently healthy women (served as control group). The diagnosis of breast tumor was achieved by the Oncology group. Histopathology investigations were performed by Consultant Histopathologic based on tissue biopsy of mammary tumor or after mastectomy. Tumor classification and staging were performed depending on criteria of International Union against Cancer Tumor - Node - Metastasis (UICC - TNM) classification and the American Joint Committee on Cancer Staging. Accordingly, women with breast cancer were classified into subgroups based on the stage of their BC; Group A : 12 women with stage I, Group B : 14 women with stage II, and Group C : 12 women with stage III. Exclusion criterion includes those women with breast cancer of advanced stage (stage IV), a previous history of multiple type of cancers; female reproductive tract cancers (ovarian, cervical and endometrial cancers), renal, colorectal, pancreatic, lung, head and neck tumors. Blood sample was aspirated from each woman for the measurement of plasma VEGF, M - CSF, MMP - 2, TIMP - 2 and serum CA15 - 3 by using enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Also, serum vitamin D3 was measured in group I only using ELISA and serum lipid profile parameters were measured in group I and group II. Results : The mean (±SD) values of plasma levels of VEGF (p<0.001), MMP - 2 (p< 0.001), TIMP - 2 (p < 0.001), M - CSF (p < 0.05), and CA 15 - 3 (p<0.001) of group I was significantly higher compared to that of group II and controls. However, the mean value of plasma MMP - 2 was the only measured biochemical marker which was significantly increased in group II compared to controls (p<0.001). Regarding the BC stages, the mean values of all the measured biochemical markers were significantly higher in stage III than in stage I and stage II (p<0.001). Interestingly, the mean (± SD) value of plasma TIMP - 2 levels was the only biochemical marker of the measured ones which was significantly increased in stage II than in stage I (p=0.001). The cut - point value of plasma VEGF (>55.73 pg/ml) or TIMP - 2 (>102 ng/ml) (for both, AUC=1.0) was the excellent test in differentiating women with stage I of BC from healthy women. While that of VEGF (>55.73 pg/ml), TIMP - 2 (>102 pg/ml) or CA15 - 3 (>10.82 u/ml) (for all, AUC=1.0) was considered as the best test in discriminating the BC stage II from healthy women. While, the cut - point value of plasma TIMP - 2 (>142 ng/ml) which has the highest (AUC=1.0) considered as the excellent test in differentiating BC stage I from women with fibroadenoma benign tumor (FA). While that of VEGF (>88.67 pg/ml) or TIMP - 2 (>254 ng/ml) which has the highest (for each, AUC=0.991) was considered as the best test in discriminating the BC stage II from FA. In addition, the plasma measurement of VEGF has the superior diagnostic utility in differentiation of FA women and healthy control women (p<0.001, AUC=0.998).Conclusion : Measurement of plasma VEGF (cutoff >55.22pg/ml) or TIMP - 2 (cutoff >102 ng/ml) is the best biochemical marker in diagnosis of stage I or stage II BC and differentiates them from healthy women; they have more diagnostic utility than CA 15 - 3. Also, measurement of TIMP (cutoff > 142 ng/ml) has the excellent diagnostic utility in diagnosis and differentiation of stage I BC from benign tumor fibroadenoma (FA). Moreover, TIMP - 2 (cutoff > 254 ng/ml) or VEGF (cutoff > 88.67 pg/ml) has the superior diagnostic utility over that of CA 15 - 3 in diagnosis and differentiation of stage II BC from FA. Plasma measurement of TIMP - 2 was the best biochemical marker in studying early progression of BC; it can differentiate stage II from stage I BC. Furthermore, plasma measurement of VEGF was found to be the excellent parameter in differentiation between women with FA from healthy ones.

المستخلص: Polycystic ovary syndrome is a common endocrinopathy in women of reproductive age with primary manifestations of infertility, menstrual irregularity, and clinical or biochemical evidence of hyperandrogenism.Insulin resistance is predominant in women with this disorder independently of obesity and is contributed to reproductive and metabolic defect seen in this syndrome.Vitamin D was assumed to have a physiological effect in reproduction through binding to nuclear receptors which have been distributed in the uterus, oviduct, ovary, placenta, and fetal membranes. Besides, genes included in vitamin D metabolism have been assumed as candidate genes for the polycystic ovary syndrome susceptibility. Vitamin D receptor gene polymorphisms were suggested to play an influential role on insulin secretion and sensitivity in women with this syndrome.Objective : This study was planned to evaluate serum 25 - hydroxy vitamin D3 levels in women with polycystic ovary syndrome and compare their levels with age and body mass index matched healthy controls. Also, assess the correlation between insulin resistance and 25 - hydroxy vitamin D3 among women with this syndrome. In addition, investigate the possible association between Cdx2 (G/A) single nucleotide polymorphism of vitamin D receptor gene and the risk of polycystic ovary syndrome.Materials and Methods : This case - control study involved eighty eight (88) women from 18 to 34 years of age. Women were attended to Infertility Center in Baghdad Teaching Hospital during the period from March 2017 to June 2017. Women were divided into two groups : group 1 - consisted of forty five (45) newly diagnosed women with polycystic ovary syndrome and group 2 - consisted of forty three (43) healthy women (as controls). Women with polycystic ovary syndrome were diagnosed according to Rotterdam criteria when two out of three following criteria are found, these include oligoovulation and/orIIIanovulation, clinical and/or biochemical hyperandrogenism and polycystic ovaries as defined by ultrasonography.Each serum sample was analyzed for measuring 25 - hydroxy vitamin D3, luteinizing hormone, follicle - stimulating hormone, free testosterone, and insulin by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay. While serum calcium and fasting serum glucose were measured by spectrophotometer. Moreover, DNA samples were amplified and analyzed for the Cdx2 polymorphism of vitamin D receptor gene using allele specific multiple - polymerase chain reaction.Results : Significantly lower levels and higher prevalence of vitamin D deficiency were found in women with polycystic ovary syndrome compared to age and body mass index matched healthy controls (p=0.0001). Also, significant negative correlations were found between serum 25 - hydroxy vitamin D3 levels and fasting serum glucose (r= - 0.484, p=0.01), insulin (r= - 0.422, p=0.04) and HOMA - IR (r= - 0.542, p=0.0001) in patients group. Besides, no significant difference in genotypic distribution of Cdx2 polymorphism of vitamin D receptor gene between patients and controls. GG carriers (p=0.141), GA carriers (p=0.189), and AA carriers (p=1). However, the results found significantly higher serum levels of luteinizing hormone (p=0.002) and luteinizing hormone/follicle - stimulating hormone ratio (p=0.003) in GG carriers than GA and AA carriers for patients group and lower levels of serum 25 - hydroxy vitamin D3 in GG carriers than GA and AA carriers for both patients (p=0.00001) and controls (p=0.00001).Conclusion : Cdx2 polymorphism of vitamin D receptor gene has an association with severity of clinical features seen in polycystic ovary syndrome, but not with risk of development of the disease meaning that genetic variation are not directly linked to risk of this syndrome but may indirectly affect disease development via regulation of vitamin D and/or calcium levels.
