In silico analysis of the functional non-synonymous single nucleotide polymorphisms in the human CYP27B1 gene
CYP27B1 gene codes for 25-hydroxyvitamin D3 1-α-hydroxylase, an enzyme that catalyses the activation of vitamin D to the 1-α, 25 dihydroxyvitamin D3. The activity of this enzyme is altered by non-synonymous single nucleotide polymorphisms (nsSNPs) located within its gene. Such alterations consequently affect the synthesis of the active form of the hormone, 1-α, 25 dihydroxyvitamin D3,...
