Phosphorus Levels

Mineral Absorption

Phosphorus is a mineral that combines with calcium in bones and teeth and is also involved in energy metabolism (as ATP) and DNA structure.

GWAS work has identified variants near genes regulating phosphorus absorption and renal handling that contribute to small differences in serum phosphorus.

This result reflects research-level variation in phosphorus biology and is not a serum phosphorus test or a recommendation about intake.

Diet, kidney function, vitamin D status, parathyroid hormone, medications, and age also strongly influence actual phosphorus levels.

DNA Genics reports genotypes based on the 'positive' strand of the human genome reference sequence (build 37/HG19). Other companies may use the opposite strand, so genotypes may need conversion for comparison.
