Maternal fatty acids in pregnancy, FADS polymorphisms, and child intelligence quotient at 8 y of age.

The American journal of clinical nutrition - 1 Dec 2013

Steer Colin D, Lattka Eva, Koletzko Berthold, Golding Jean, Hibbeln Joseph R

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Brain tissue is selectively enriched with highly unsaturated fatty acids (FAs). Altering the maternal FA status in pregnancy may improve fetal neural development with lasting consequences for child development. OBJECTIVE: We explored whether maternal FAs in erythrocytes, either measured directly or indirectly by maternal FADS genetic variants, are associated with child intelligence quotient (IQ)....
