Abstract

Background: Vitamin D and its receptor (VDR) play a pivotal role in immune regulation, with polymorphisms in the VDR gene implicated in susceptibility to systemic autoimmune rheumatic diseases (SARDs). Objective: This review compares findings from Asian and European populations regarding VDR polymorphisms and their association with SARDs, highlighting implications for future research in Indonesia. Methods: Literature was systematically searched in PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science for studies and meta-analyses published between 2010–2023. Results: Asian studies generally demonstrate stronger associations between VDR polymorphisms (especially FokI and BsmI) and SARD risk, while European studies often report weaker or inconsistent associations. Conclusion: This is the first review to directly compare Asian and European data on VDR polymorphisms in SARDs. The results highlight the population-dependent nature of these associations and emphasize the need for region-specific studies, particularly in Indonesia
