Common genetic determinants of vitamin D insufficiency: a genome-wide association study

Thomas J. Wang, +79 more
- 17 Jul 2010 - 
TL;DR: In this article, a genome-wide association study of 25-hydroxyvitamin D concentrations in 33,996 individuals of European descent from 15 cohorts was conducted to identify common genetic variants affecting vitamin D concentrations and risk of insufficiency.
Journal ArticleDOI

Genome-wide meta-analysis identifies 56 bone mineral density loci and reveals 14 loci associated with risk of fracture

Karol Estrada, +190 more
- 01 May 2012 - 
TL;DR: Light is shed on the genetic architecture and pathophysiological mechanisms underlying BMD variation and fracture susceptibility and within the RANK-RANKL-OPG, mesenchymal stem cell differentiation, endochondral ossification and Wnt signaling pathways.

Targeted ablation of the 25-hydroxyvitamin D 1α-hydroxylase enzyme: Evidence for skeletal, reproductive, and immune dysfunction

TL;DR: A critical role for the 1α(OH)ase enzyme is established in mineral and skeletal homeostasis as well as in female reproduction and also point to an important role in regulating immune function.
