BI 78D3 web spectrometer (Varian 320-MS TQ Mass spectrometer, varian Inc., USA). The concentration of each fatty acid was expressed as a percentage of total fatty acids. D5D activity was estimated as the ratio of AA to DGLA. D6D activity was estimated as the ratio of AA to LA [15]. D9D activity was estimated as the ratio of palmitoleic acid (C16:1) to palmitic acid (C16:0) for D9D-16 and the ratio of oleic acid (C18:1n-9) toSNP rs174537 rs174616 rs174611 rs174460 rsGene near FADS1 FADS2 FADS2 FADS3 FADS1: Position in basepairs was derived from dbSNP Build 137. Based on NCBI Human Genome Build 37.3 (November, 2012) of chromosome 11. 2: MAF, minor allele frequency. doi:10.1371/journal.pone.0055869.tFADS Gene, Desaturase Activity and CADmonounsaturated fatty acids, and lower concentrations of LA, DHA, as well as total polyunsaturated n-3 and n-6 fatty acids. As a consequence, D6D activity, presented as AA/LA, was higher in CAD patients (p,0.001). D9D activities, estimated as the ratio of both C16:1/C16:0 and C18:1n-9/C18:0, were all increased in CAD patients (p,0.001). No significant difference in D5D activity (AA/DGLA) or n-3/n-6 was found between control and CAD patients.Genotype distribution of five selected SNPsThe genotype distributions of the five SNPs were in HardyWeinberg Equilibrium, with p.0.05 in control subjects. Figure S2 shows the normalized melting curves and peaks of small amplicons. As shown in Table 4, logistic regression analysis revealed that rs174537 was associated with CAD in both additive model [OR = 0.548, 95 CI (0.385, 0.780), p = 0.001] and dominant model [OR = 0.732, 95 CI (0.555, 0.967), p = 0.028], rs174460 was also associated with CAD in both additive model [OR = 1.896, 95 CI(1.172, 3.067), p = 0.009] and dominant model [OR = 1.329, 95 CI (1.033, 1.711), p = 0.027]. The minor T allele of rs174537 was associated with a lower risk of CAD [OR = 0.743, 95 CI (0.624, 0.884), p = 0.001], while carriers of the rs174460 C allele were associated with a higher risk of CAD [OR = 1.357, 95 CI (1.106, 1.665), p = 0.003]. Linkage disequilibrium was performed with Haploview software (Figure 1). The SNP linkage disequilibrium patterns were assessed using both the D9 and r2 SIS3 biological activity values. Based on the HapMap database, r2 was less than 0.8 among the five SNPs, suggesting that they do not exist in linkage disequilibrium with each other. Although rs174616 and rs174611 are adjacent to each other, no linkage disequilibrium was found between them.different genotypes in both rs174537 and rs174460, with the exception of C18:0 and AA. Compared with controls of rs174537 GG genotype, CAD patients of rs174537 GG genotype had lower D5D and higher D9D-16; CAD patients of rs174537 GT+TT genotype had higher D6D and D9D-16. Compared with controls of rs174537 GT+TT genotype, CAD patients of rs174537 GG genotype had decreased D5D and increased D6D, D9D-16, D9D-18; CAD patients of rs174537 GT+TT genotype showed reduced D5D, and elevated D6D, D9D-16, D9D-18. CAD patients of rs174537 GG genotype had lower D5D than GT+TT genotype patients. Compared with controls of rs174460 TT genotype, controls of rs174460 CT+CC genotype had higher D9D-16 and D9D-18; lower D5D and higher D6D, D9D-16, D9D-18 were found in all patients. Compared with controls of rs174460 CT+CC genotype, CAD patients of rs174460 TT genotype had increased D9D-16; CAD patients of rs174460 CT+CC genotype had decreased D5D 1407003 and increased D9D-16.DiscussionIn this paper, we used the high-resolution melt.Spectrometer (Varian 320-MS TQ Mass spectrometer, varian Inc., USA).
