Early Pregnancy Vitamin D Binding Protein Is Independently Associated with the Development of Gestational Diabetes: A Retrospective Cohort Study.

This is the first study to examine VDBP, and total, free and bioavailable 25(OH)D in relation to pregnancy outcomes in a well characterised multi-ethnic cohort of pregnant women. Our findings show that VDBP and total 25(OH)D are associated with GDM and length of gestation, respectively; however, further investigations using large-scale prospective studies are needed to confirm our findings.
