Acronym: Gc
Brief Summary: We have just completed a randomized clinical trial of 100000 IU Vitamin D3 given as a single dose at the beginning of winter We found a wide range of responses to the dose This study proposes that genetic differences account for some of the variation in response of 25OHD levels after treatment with oral Vitamin D
Detailed Description: We suspect that the wide range of response is effected by other factors such as variation in Vitamin D binding protein the major transporter of Vitamin D metabolites

Gc also known as Vitamin D binding protein DBP group specific component or Gc globulin is a 52-58 kDa multifunctional plasma protein synthesized in the liver The gene encoding for Gc is located on chromosome 4 and three common co-dominant alleles give rise to three phenotypes Gc1s Gc1f and Gc2 Gc binds actin recruits neutrophil leukocytes and converts into a macrophage- and osteoclast- activating factor It also is the major transporter of Vitamin D and its metabolites Lauridsen et al showed that Gc phenotype correlates with 25OHD levels in a group of postmenopausal women

This study proposes that Gc phenotype accounts for some of the variation in response of 25OHD levels after treatment with oral Vitamin D
