Abstract

Scope: Tissue concentrations of omega‐3 fatty acids may reduce cardiovascular disease risk, and genetic variants are associated with circulating fatty acids concentrations. Whether dietary fatty acids interact with genetic variants to modify circulating omega‐3 fatty acids is unclear. We evaluated interactions between genetic variants and fatty acid intakes for circulating alpha‐linoleic acid, eicosapentaenoic acid, docosahexaenoic acid, and docosapentaenoic acid. Methods and results: We conducted meta‐analyses (N = 11 668) evaluating interactions between dietary fatty acids and genetic variants (rs174538 and rs174548 in FADS1 (fatty acid desaturase 1), rs7435 in AGPAT3 (1‐acyl‐sn‐glycerol‐3‐phosphate), rs4985167 in PDXDC1 (pyridoxal‐dependent decarboxylase domain‐containing 1), rs780094 in GCKR (glucokinase regulatory protein), and rs3734398 in ELOVL2 (fatty acid elongase 2)). Stratification by measurement compartment (plasma versus erthyrocyte) revealed compartment‐specific interactions between FADS1 rs174538 and rs174548 and dietary alpha‐linolenic acid and linoleic acid for docosahexaenoic acid and docosapentaenoic acid. Conclusion: Our findings reinforce earlier reports that genetically based differences in circulating fatty acids may be partially due to differences in the conversion of fatty acid precursors. Further, fatty acids measurement compartment may modify gene–diet relationships, and considering compartment may improve the detection of gene–fatty acids interactions for circulating fatty acid outcomes.

  • Evidence for interactions between diet and these genes is uncommon.

    “Large investigations pooling multiple cohorts have observed main (population) effects of either dietary influences or genes on major cardiometabolic risk factors, but evidence for interactions between diet and these genes is uncommon and, more relevantly, magnitudes of such potential interactions are often small.78-83”
  • Magnitudes of such potential gene-diet interactions are often small.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
