Gene

CYP24A1

CYP24A1 encodes an enzyme that helps break down active vitamin D. For this finding, rs1570669 is a marker in the CYP24A1 region that is linked to a very small difference in blood calcium. The studies did not show that this marker changes CYP24A1 activity or vitamin-D clearance, and it does not measure a person's calcium level.
