Abstract excerpt
Twin studies suggest a considerable genetic contribution to the variability in 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25(OH)D) concentrations, reporting heritability estimates up to 80% in some studies. While genome-wide association studies (GWAS) suggest notably lower rates (13−16%), they have identified many independent variants that associate with serum 25(OH)D concentrations. These discoveries have provided some novel insight...
