Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Vitamin D status, determined on the basis of 25-hydroxyvitamin D [25(OH)D] concentrations, is associated with the risk of several diseases. Vitamin D binding protein (DBP) is the major carrier of vitamin D and its metabolites, but the role of DBP single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) on 25(OH)D concentrations is unclear. OBJECTIVE: The objective was to evaluate the association of 2 DBP gene SNPs with...
