Abstract The vitamin D prophylaxis of rickets in pregnant women and newborns may play a role in early allergic sensitization. We now asked if an already diseased population may have inherited genetic variants in the vitamin D turnover or signalling pathway. Serum levels of calcidiol 25-OH-D3 and calcitriol 1 25- OH 2-D3 were retrospectively assessed in 872 partipants of the German Asthma Family Study. 96 DNA single base variants in 13 different genes were genotyped with MALDI-TOF and a bead array system. At least one positive SNP with a TDT of p for asthma or total IgE and calcidiol or calcitriol was seen in IL10 GC IL12B CYP2R1 IL4R and CYP24A1. .
