Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Breastfeeding is important for child cognitive development. A study by Caspi et al has suggested that rs174575 within the FADS2 gene moderates this effect so that children homozygous in the minor allele (GG genotype) have similar IQs irrespective of feeding method. METHODS AND PRINCIPAL FINDINGS: In our study of 5934 children aged 8 years, no genetic main effect with IQ was found for rs174575....
