ALG14 polymorphisms are associated with higher levels of palmitic acid (16:0) and lower levels of stearic acid (18:0).
Understanding these genetic associations can inform dietary recommendations.
StrongSupportsmedium confidence
ALG14 polymorphisms were associated with higher 16:0 (P=2.7×10(-11)) and lower 18:0 (P=2.2×10(-18)).
