Variants of the vitamin D binding protein (VDBP) gene appear to be associated with levels of the main circulating vitamin D metabolite, 25-hydroxyvitamin D [(25(OH)D]. We examined the associations between the common variants of the VDBP (GC) gene and concentrations of 25(OH)D in a sample of young Canadian adults of East Asian, European and South Asian ancestry, taking into account the effect of vitamin D intake,...
