1

FDR < 0.1 designated as statistically significant in GSEA analyses.36

2

Set derived from Ramagopalan et al.: 25(OH)D receptor ChIP-Seq and GEP in lymphoblastoid cell line after stimulation with calcitriol for 36 h → identification of genes that are bound and upregulated by the 25(OH)D receptor.

3

Set derived from BENEFIT gene expression profiles and 25(OH)D data from the model GeneExpression∼25(OH)D*IFNß+covariates. To enter the set, the particular gene had to have a nominal P-value of ≤0.05.

5

Set derived from Heikkinen et al. 25(OH)D receptor ChIP-Seq after 40-min stimulation with calcitriol and gene expression profiling after 4-h stimulation with calcitriol in THP-1 monocytic leukemia cells followed by the identification of genes that are bound and upregulated by the 25(OH)D receptor.
