Abstract: Vitamin D is a hormone produced in the skin by ultraviolet radiation and plays a crucial role in calcium homeostasis. It has been lately acknowledged that vitamin D participates in the pathophysiology of various chronic diseases and its deficiency has been linked to the deterioration of patients’ condition. The aim of this study was to record levels of 25(OH)D in the population of a rural, near-border area of Northern Greece and to investigate possible association to an underline chronic disease. These are the preliminary results of a study on vitamin D deficiency epidemiology and genetic polymorphisms of its receptor and transfer protein.
