Vitamin D, folate, and potential early lifecycle environmental origin of significant adult phenotypes

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Vitamin D and folate are highly UV sensitive, and critical for maintaining health throughout the lifecycle. This study examines whether solar irradiance during the first trimester of pregnancy influences vitamin D receptor (VDR) and nuclear folate gene variant occurrence, and whether affected genes influence late-life biochemical/clinical phenotypes. METHODOLOGY: 228 subjects were...
