Associations of erythrocyte fatty acid compositions with FADS1 gene polymorphism in Japanese mothers and infants

In conclusion, differences in the FADS1 SNP genotypes of pregnant women and their children may greatly affect the supply of LC-PUFAs. Further studies on the involvement of the FADS1 polymorphisms and the fetal LC-PUFA levels in the fetal growth and development are warranted.
