Mendelian randomization analysis using genes involved in VD metabolism as instrumental variables (VDBP, DHCR7, CYP2R1 and CYP24A1) suggested that low 25(OH)D has little or no impact on BMI [120], that obesity promoted the reduction in plasma 25(OH)D and that a 1 kg increase in body weight leads to a 1.15% decrease in 25(OH)D. Here, GC is linked to obesity disorder.
