FADS1 and FADS2 polymorphisms are associated with higher levels of palmitoleic acid (16:1n-7) and oleic acid (18:1n-9) and lower levels of stearic acid (18:0).
These genetic insights could guide personalized nutrition strategies.

FADS1 and FADS2 polymorphisms were associated with higher 16:1n-7 (P=6.6×10(-13)) and 18:1n-9 (P=2.2×10(-32)) and lower 18:0 (P=1.3×10(-20)).
