Abstract excerpt
INTRODUCTION: Vitamin D deficiency has been linked to cardiovascular pathologies including acute coronary syndrome (ACS). Polymorphisms in vitamin D associated genes have been confounding to vitamin D serum levels and pathological predispositions. 7-hydrocholesterol is a common precursor in cholesterol and vitamin D synthesis. DHCR7/NADSYN1 genetic locus expresses 7-hydrocholesterol reductase (DHCR7), an enzyme...
