| Abstract |
A large amount of researches have demonstrated that vitamin D receptor (VDR) gene polymorphisms are associated with diabetic nephropathy (DN) risk in diabetes mellitus (DM) patients. Nevertheless, the results are inconclusive and inconsistent. We screened PubMed, Embase, Chinese National Knowledge Infrastructure and Chinese Wanfang databases for those relevant studies updated in May 2016. 7 studies involving 2564 subjects were recruited. We evaluated the genotypic and allelic differences between DN patients and DM controls. Overall analysis showed that no significant association was found among the ApaI, BsmI, FokI,TaqI gene polymorphisms and DN susceptibility in diabetic patients (all P values > 0.05). In the stratified analysis, TT genotype was related to DN susceptibility in Asians (TT vs Tt + tt: OR =2.21, 95% CI: 1.05-4.67, p = 0.04). The sensitivity analysis showed that the results in overall populations, Caucasians and Asians were dependable. No significant association was found among the ApaI, BsmI, FokI, TaqI polymorphisms and DN risk in overall populations, the TaqI variants might related to DN susceptibility in Asians. Further researches are required to testify our meta-analysis. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 3. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 19 June 2018.
All research outputs
#14,541,990
of 25,382,440 outputs
Outputs from BMC Medical Genomics
#888
of 2,444 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#157,049
of 323,804 outputs
Outputs of similar age from BMC Medical Genomics
#11
of 45 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,382,440 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 42nd percentile – i.e., 42% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 2,444 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 4.4. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 63% of its peers.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 323,804 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 51% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 45 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has done well, scoring higher than 75% of its contemporaries.
