Genome-wide association study of vitamin D concentrations and bone mineral density in the African American-Diabetes Heart Study.

Genome-wide association study of vitamin D concentrations and bone mineral density in the African American-Diabetes Heart Study.

Relative to European Americans, African Americans have lower 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25OHD) and vitamin D binding protein (VDBP) concentrations, higher 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D (1,25(OH)2D3) concentrations and bone mineral density (BMD), and paradoxically reduced burdens of calcified atherosclerotic pla...
