Abstract

AIMS: A growing body of evidence suggests that ethnicity and race influence vitamin B

METHODS: Serum B

RESULTS: Black patients (n=13 806) were found to have significantly higher serum vitamin B

CONCLUSIONS: It is likely that a combination of genetic and acquired/environmental factors are responsible for the ethnic differences in serum B
