Abstract:

CYP2R1 is a member of the cytochrome P450 family 2 subfamily. As a 25-hydroxylase of vitamin D, it is responsible for the hydroxylation of vitamin D to 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25-OH-D), affecting the production of active hormone 1,25(OH)2D. The CYP2R1 mutation triggers a vitamin D-dependent rickets type 1B. The polymorphism of CYP2R1 is significantly correlated with the level of 25-OH-D, especially rs10741657. The CYP2R1 gene polymorphism affects its protein expression level and enzyme activity, and has a significant impact on the metabolic processes that it catalyzes. CYP2R1 regulates the immune response by regulating gene function and affects the risk of type 1 diabetes. Its polymorphism is associated with a variety of cancer risks, including breast cancer, prostate cancer, and colorectal cancer. Studying the CYP2R1 gene polymorphism is helpful for understanding the role of metabolic pathway changes in the development of related diseases, deepening the understanding of diseases such as cancer, rickets and type 1 diabetes, and promoting the detection and assessment of the risk of related diseases from the genetic level. This article reviews the research progress of metabolic pathways and gene polymorphisms involved in CYP2R1 in recent five years.
