Vitamin D in a northern Canadian first nation population: dietary intake, serum concentrations and functional gene polymorphisms.
The wide spectrum of vitamin D activity has focused attention on its potential role in the elevated burden of disease in a northern Canadian First Nations (Dené) cohort. Vitamin D insufficiency, and gene polymorphisms in the vitamin D receptor (VDR) and vitamin D binding protein (VDBP) have been imp...
