Abstract excerpt
In recent studies combining genome-wide association and tandem-MS based metabolic profiling, a single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP), rs211718C>T, located far upstream of the MCAD gene (ACADM) was found to be associated with serum concentrations of medium-chain acylcarnitines indicating improved beta-oxidation of medium-chain fatty acids. We examined the functional basis for this association and identified linkage...
