rs174537
rs174537 is a common tag marker near FADS1 in a tightly linked fatty-acid region. On the GRCh38 forward strand, the studied common contrast is G/T. G is linked to more labeled EPA recovered from administered plant ALA and to higher circulating EPA or EPA-to-ALA values; T is linked to lower values. The evidence supports a qualitative ALA-to-EPA tendency, not DHA conversion, a personal conversion percentage, or supplement benefit. The unstudied genomic C allele is outside the reviewed map.
