Deskripsi
Vitamin D is a precursor of the steroid hormone 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3, and its deficiency is associated with many adverse health outcomes. Here, Revez et al. perform a genome-wide association study for circulating 25-hydroxyvitamin D in 417,580 individuals and test for potential causal relationships with other traits using Mendelian randomization.
