Abstract excerpt
We investigated the association of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the fatty acid desaturase (FADS) gene cluster with coronary artery disease (CAD) in a case-control study and evaluated the possible influence of genetic variation on total cholesterol (TC) and triglyceride concentrations in the controls. In total, 497 CAD patients and 495 unrelated controls were genotyped for eight SNPs in the FADS gene...
