Emerging research has suggested an association between vitamin D insufficiency and cardiovascular disease as low serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25(OH)D) was associated with higher for CVD. Vitamin D binding protein (VDBP) is the main systemic transporter of vitamin D and its common genetic polymorphisms result in the expression of different proteins with different affinities for vitamin D UR - http://172.23.153.220/th.pdf ER -
