description <p dir="ltr">The Middle East region experiences a high prevalence of vitamin D deficiency, yet most genetic studies on vitamin D have focused on European populations. Furthermore, there is a lack of research on the genomic risk factors affecting elderly people, who are more susceptible to health burdens. We investigated the genetic determinants of 25-hydroxyvitamin D concentrations in elderly Lebanese individuals (<i>n</i> = 199) through a whole-exome-based genome-wide association study. Novel genomic loci displaying suggestive evidence of association with 25-hydroxyvitamin D levels were identified in our study, including rs141064014 in the <i>MGAM</i> (p-value of 4.40 × 10<sup>−6</sup>) and rs7036592 in <i>PHF2</i> (<i>p</i>-value of 8.43 × 10<sup>−6</sup>). A meta-analysis of the Lebanese data and the largest European genome-wide association study confirmed consistency replication of numerous variants, including rs2725405 in <i>SLC</i>38A10 (<i>p</i>-value of 3.73 × 10<sup>−8</sup>). Although the polygenic risk score model derived from European populations exhibited lower performance than European estimations, it still effectively predicted vitamin D deficiency among our cohort. Our discoveries offer novel perspectives on the genetic mechanisms underlying vitamin D deficiency among elderly Middle Eastern populations, facilitating the development of personalized approaches for more effective management of vitamin D deficiency. Additionally, we demonstrated that whole-exome-based genome-wide association study is an effective method for identifying genetic components associated with phenotypes.</p><h2>Other Information</h2><p dir="ltr">Published in: Nutrients<br>License: <a href="https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/" target="_blank">https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/</a><br>See article on publisher's website: <a href="https://dx.doi.org/10.3390/nu15143216" target="_blank">https://dx.doi.org/10.3390/nu15143216</a></p>
