About this gene

Kidney enzyme converting 25OHD to active 1,25OH2D.

Analyzed variants (SNPs)

rs10877012 CYP27B1 Population frequency: 35.0%
Genotype Impact What it means
GG (Normal) Normal Normal activation of vitamin D to its active form (calcitriol). Maintain adequate vitamin D from sun, oily fish or supplements.
GT (Carrier) Low impact Slightly reduced vitamin D activation. Ensure good vitamin D status (sun, oily fish, D3 supplement) and adequate magnesium, which the conversion needs.
TT (Variant) Moderate Reduced conversion to active 1,25(OH)2D. Aim for the higher end of optimal vitamin D, ensure magnesium intake, and retest levels periodically.
