Ethiopian women have been reported to have low plasma 25-hydroxy-cholecalciferol (25(OH)D) concentrations despite an abundance of sunshine. Low dietary vitamin D intake, limited skin exposure to sun, and genetics are among factors suggested to affect vitamin D status in this population. In this study (Clinical Trial NCT02210884), we hypothesized that polymorphisms in the vitamin D binding protein (VDBP) gene...
