Results of analysis of 16 SNP from the FADS cluster for associations with n-3 and n-6 ADI. Different letters (^a or ^b) denote values that are significantly different between groups. The * denotes p-values which are significant and withstood multiple testing. P-values were determined using multiple linear regression models which were adjusted for BMI, age, dietary LA, ALA, EPA and DHA, % total energy from dietary fat and physical activity. Abbreviations: M major, m minor, ADI aggregate desaturase indices, SEM standard error of the mean.
