The Relationship Between VDR Gene Polymorphism and Children's Physical and Intellectual Development

Overview

This study was used to determine the relationship between vitamin D receptor gene polymorphism and children's physical and intellectual development, further adjust the doses of vitamin D supplementation after birth, and provide individualized vitamin D and calcium supplements.

High risk children aged 0-3 years old who visited the pediatrics clinic and ward of the first affiliated hospital of Xi'an Jiaotong university and other cooperative hospitals from 2018 to 2020 were randomly selected.

Then collect the sample(saliva) of children to examine Vitamin D Receptor(VDR) genotype, according to results, divide the research group into high, medium and low risk, given individual vitamin D and calcium supplement. Monitor the children's weight, body length, head circumference, the Neonatal Behavioral Assessment Scale(NBAS), bailey rating scale respectively, up to 3 years old.
