How genes and sunshine shape vitamin D levels
New genetic insights into vitamin D status using sunlight and DNA data
Dr Rasha Shraim's latest research published in Nature Communication this November investigated genetic data from over 330,000 participants in the UK Biobank were combined with detailed satellite data measuring daily UVB sunlight exposure at each participant’s home address. This enabled the researchers to calculate a precise estimate of individual sunlight exposure prior to vitamin D measurement.​​​​​​
