A 2014 GWAS of ~1,400 Caucasian men ages 50-70 found that after rs7041, the SNP most significantly associated with fasting serum levels of vitamin D binding protein (VDBP, encoded by the GC gene) is rs705117. The average VDBP levels measured were 6339, 4280, and 2341 nmol/L, for 0, 1, and 2 copies of the rs705117(G) allele.[PMID 24740207
