Abstract

Vitamin D potentially plays a role in maternal health outcomes partly through the regulation of genes linked to vital physiologic processes. This study investigates the relationship between serum vitamin D and gene expression in peripheral blood mononuclear cells of pregnant African Americans in the southeastern United States.
