Parathyroid hormone (PTH) plays a crucial role in calcium metabolism and skeletal development via altering vitamin D level. Besides, hypersecretion of PTH is implicated in the etiology of osteoporosis. In this study, we analyzed association between promoter region sequence variants of PTH gene and circulating 25-hydroxy-vitamin D (25(OH)D) level. Genotypes of PTH SNPs rs1459015, rs10500783 and rs10500784 and circulating serum 25(OH)D level of healthy adults (N=386) of different nationalities liv ...[more]
