  1. Diplotype means were compared with ANCOVA ± SE. The values are adjusted estimates from ANCOVA. N in parenthesis
  2. Significant p-values are indicated in bold
  3. aAdjusted for age, S-PTH, vitamin D intake, sunlight exposure and sex
  4. bAdjusted for BMI and sex
  5. cS-25(OH)D, Ca intake
  6. GC diplotype was used as a fixed factor
  7. dDiplotype-corrected free and bioavailable 25(OH)D values were calculated by placing a diplotype-specific binding coefficient into the free and bioavailable formulae
