Abstract excerpt
The aim of this study was to map the genetic expression of the vitamin D metabolizing enzymes CYP27A, CYP27B1, CYP2R1, and CYP24A1 in the first trimester in different human fetal tissues. In addition, the gene expression was correlated with fetal age, season, and presence of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the genes encoding CYP27A1 (rs4674344), CYP2R1 (rs2060793), and CYP24A1 (rs6013897).
