Fatty Acid CoA Ligase-4 Gene Polymorphism Influences Fatty Acid Metabolism in Metabolic Syndrome, but not in Depression

Abstract

The present study shows that the common single nucleotide polymorphism (C to T substitution) in the first intron of the FACL4 gene is associated with altered FA composition of plasma phosphatidylcholines in patients with metabolic syndrome.
