Default Vit. D Deficiency Not the Cause, Vit. D Supplementation Not the Cure for Rickets
In the presence of sufficient calcium, the cause of rickets is hypophosphatemia:

http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/q...=pubmed_docsum

"Dr. Marshall wrote the author, asking what evidence there is to back the statements in that paper that Vitamin D helps the gut absorb calcium. The reply he received said:
'We have no data that 1,25 has any effect on the prevention of rickets ..
Absence of ligand or receptor in the presence of normal mineral ions leads to a normal growth..'"

"Dr. Marshall did note that 'the VDR does transcribe CASR and PTH and TRPV5 and TRPV6, all of which are active in calcium homeostasis.'"
