Maternal vitamin D status has been positively associated with infant bone mass in observational studies. We therefore evaluated whether 1000 IU/day cholecalciferol during pregnancy would lead to greater offspring bone mass at birth, in a UK, multicentre, randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial (MAVIDOS, ISRCTN82927713).At 12 weeksÂ’ gestation, pregnant women with a serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D [25(OH)D] 25-100 nmol/l were randomised to either...

Objectives: Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) in genes related to vitamin D metabolism have been associated with 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25(OH)D) status, but these relationships have not been examined in pregnancy or following antenatal vitamin D supplementation. We assessed whether SNPs in DHCR7 (7-dehydrocholesterol reductase), CYP2R1 (25-hydroxylase), CYP24A1 (24-hydroxylase) and GC (Vitamin D binding protein) were associated with the re...
