Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND/AIMS: Recent genome-wide association studies have identified the rs1790349 and rs12785878 single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), present in the NADSYN1/DHCR7 locus, as an influential player on circulating 25-hydroxyvitamin D [25(OH)D] levels, which itself has been linked to various diseases including cardiovascular disease (CVD). This study investigated the association of these SNPs with CVD and...
