Abstract

Environmental disorders associated with vitamin D deficiency include musculoskeletal disorders (childhood rickets, osteomalacia, and fractures), and may include extraskeletal disorders (diabetes, cardiovascular disease, risk of falls, and cancer). There is high interindividual variability in the occurrence of both musculoskeletal and extraskeletal disorders. Previous twin and family studies suggested that genetic factors play a significant role in this variability. Little data exist on the possible effects of common genetic variation on vitamin D status; the available studies have been small and only small numbers of variants were examined. [...]
