No Association of Vitamin D Pathway Genetic Variants with Cancer Risks in a Population-Based Cohort of German Older Adults

Conclusions: Our data provide little to no evidence of a major influence of vitamin D genetic predisposition on cancer risks. Impact: Large-scale genetic epidemiology consortia and meta-analysis of smaller published studies are needed to verify a potential modest influence of genetic variation in the association of vitamin D with the risk of cancer.
