Vitamin D, besides its classical role in bone metabolism, plays a distinct role in multiple pathways of the feto-maternal unit. Calcitriol is the major active ligand of the nuclear vitamin D receptor (VDR). The vitamin D receptor (VDR) is expressed in different uteroplacental parts and exerts a variety of functions in physiologic pregnancy. It

  • regulates decidualisation and implantation,
  • influences hormone secretion and
  • placental immune modulations.

This review highlights the role of the vitamin D receptor in physiologic and disturbed pregnancy, as

  • preeclampsia,
  • fetal growth restriction    5 % of pregnancies
  • gestational diabetes    3% to 8% of pregnancies
  • preterm birth.

We discuss the existing literature regarding common VDR polymorphisms in these pregnancy disorders.

  • “FokI variant could be linked to an increased risk of preterm birth (odds ratio OR = 3.317)”
    The above is the only quantitative data which was quickly noticed in the study
