Vitamin D influences more than 200 genes…

One of my happiest research moments is when I find free, fully available studies online. Today I had two such moments. I am still working on a post based on the first study; in the meantime, here is a link to the second one: http://tinyurl.com/32schog (it will take a few seconds to load, so please be patient…). If you find the language a bit overwhelming (I haven’t read the study yet, but a glance sufficed…!), then here is the link to a much simpler text, that is, a Science Daily article on the topic at hand: http://tinyurl.com/2cwv9fy

I did a textual search for “myeloma,” but found nothing. This is very odd, since CLL and AML are both mentioned AND there are studies showing that myeloma patients with vitamin D deficiency have worse outcomes (see my Page on this topic: http://margaret.healthblogs.org/life-with-myeloma/what-is-multiple-myeloma/myeloma-and-vitamin-d/). I might try writing to the authors, actually.

Okay, I must get back to my studies now…or, on second thought, perhaps I should do some ironing (my pile of ironing has almost reached the study ceiling…)? Hmmm…
