Figure 1. Boxplot of vitamin D binding protein levels by rs2282679 genotype.

Figure 1

rs2282679 has three genotypes, i.e., AA, AC, and CC. Homozygous carriers of the major allele (AA) comprised 51.4% of the population, heterozygous carriers (AC) comprised 39.6%, and homozygous carriers of the minor allele (CC) comprised 9.0%. Individuals carrying the effect allele, C, had lower DBP levels than those with the more common allele (AA: 384.6 mg/l [SD 48.3], n = 1,159; CA: 360.7 mg/l [SD 45.9], n = 893; CC: 322.9 mg/l [SD 39.1], n = 202). The effect allele showed an inverse linear relationship with DBP levels.
