Impact of Amerind ancestry and FADS genetic variation on omega-3 deficiency and cardiometabolic traits in Hispanic populations

Impact of Amerind ancestry and FADS genetic variation on omega-3 deficiency and cardiometabolic traits in Hispanic populations

Yang et al. examine whether genetic ancestry is associated with genetic variation in fatty acid desaturases and plasma phospholipid levels of long chain polyunsaturated fatty acids (LC-PUFAs) in Hispanic Americans. They find strong associations between Amerind genetic ancestry and LC-PUFA levels; an...
