Abstract excerpt
To investigate the association between the polymorphisms of fatty acid desaturase 1 (FADS1), fatty acid desaturase 2 (FADS2) and elongation of very long chain fatty acids like 2 (ELOVL2) gene and coronary artery disease (CAD) in a Chinese Han population. Three single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) from these genes were genotyped using PCR-based restriction fragment length polymorphism analysis in 199 CAD cases...
