Genetic variation in polyunsaturated fatty acid metabolism and its potential relevance for human development and health.

Maternal & child nutrition - 1 Apr 2011

Abstract excerpt

Blood and tissue contents of polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA) and long-chain PUFA (LC-PUFA) are related to numerous health outcomes including cardiovascular health, allergies, mental health and cognitive development. Evidence has accumulated to show that in addition to diet, common polymorphisms in the fatty acid desaturase (FADS) gene cluster have very marked effects on human PUFA and LC-PUFA status. Recent...
