  • The Genetic Architecture of Vitamin D Deficiency among an Elderly Lebanese Middle Eastern Population: An Exome-Wide Association Study - Unknown journal (n.d.) · Unknown authors · PubMed 37513634

    ABSTRACT: The Middle East region experiences a high prevalence of vitamin D deficiency, yet most genetic studies on vitamin D have focused on European populations. Furthermore, there is a lack of research on the genomic risk factors affecting elderly people, who are more susceptible to health burdens. We investigated the genetic determinants of 25-hydroxyvitamin D concentrations in elderly Lebanese individuals (n = 199) through a whole-exome-based genome-wide association study. Novel genomic loci displaying suggestive evidence of association with 25-hydroxyvitamin D levels were identified in our study, including rs141064014 in the MGAM (p-value of 4.40 × 10−6) and rs7036592 in PHF2 (p-value of 8.43 × 10−6). A meta-analysis of the Lebanese data and the largest European genome-wide ass

Lifestyle context

Concrete actions anchored to the cited research. We do not prescribe, we describe.

Bloodwork

  • Vitamin D (25-hydroxyvitamin D) serum levels Moderate

    This variant is associated with variation in circulating 25-hydroxyvitamin D levels across 417,774 individuals

    Annual serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D testing; target range 30-50 ng/mL

Supplements

  • Vitamin D3 (cholecalciferol) supplementation Moderate

    Carriers of the risk allele show lower vitamin D levels and may benefit from supplementation

    Consider 1000-2000 IU daily if serum levels fall below 30 ng/mL
