"This idea may be supported by previous findings that complete loss of 1(OH)ase activity by genetic mutation of the 1(OH)ase gene in humans did not cause a reduction in serum 1,25(OH)2D3 levels sufficient to cause severe rickets (5, 6). It is therefore likely that, at least in humans, enzyme(s) other than 1(OH)ase (CYP27B1) are also specifically or nonspecifically responsible for 1,25(OH)2D3 production."
