Genetic and environmental predictors of serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D concentrations among middle-aged and elderly Chinese in Singapore

Abstract: Vitamin D is known for maintaining Ca homeostasis and bone structure, and may also decrease susceptibility to chronic and infectious diseases. However, data on vitamin D status and its predictors among Southeast Asian populations are limited. We evaluated the distribution and determinants (genetic and environmental) of serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25(OH)D) concentrations among 504 middle-aged and elderly participants (aged 45–74 years) in the Singapore Chinese Health Study. Data on dietary and other life… Show more

“…CYP2R1 encodes vitamin D hydroxylase which hydroxylates vitamin D at 25-C position for synthesis in liver [36]. In line with previous studies, we found the risk alleles of CYP2R1-rs10741657 and rs1993116 were marginally associated with lower serum levels of 25(OH)D without Bonferroni adjustments [14,18,19,23]. Indeed, in a genome-wide association study, Wang et al [19] found that CYP2R1-rs10741657 was significantly associated with 25(OH)D levels in 30,000 individuals of European descent from 15 cohorts.…”

“…The CYP2R1-rs12794714 is less investigated compared with other SNPs in previous studies. Two previous studies found that the risk allele of CYP2R1-rs12794714 was associated with lower levels of 25(OH)D [12,23]. The reason for non-significant association between CYP2R1-rs12794714 and serum levels of 25(OH)D in the present study is unknown.…”
