Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Asthma are associated with the vitamin D axis. Genetic variations of VDBP, notably rs7041 and rs4588, influence circulating vitamin D levels. However, data on their link to asthma are inconsistent, and ethnic differences remain unclear. OBJECTIVE: We explored how genetic variations in VDBP affect vitamin D levels and susceptibility to asthma across diverse ethnic populations. METHODS: In our...
