rs174537 is a SNP near the FADS1 gene on chromosome 11. The FADS1 gene is one of 3 fatty acid desaturases in this region; higher polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) levels are generally correlated with lower risk for heart disease.

A study of 1,075 participants in the InCHIANTI study on aging concluded that rs174537(T;T) individuals had lower arachidonic acid (AA), as well as lower levels of all other polyunsaturates measured (excepting linoleic acid, which followed the opposite pattern, and alpha-linoleic acid), compared to (G;G) homozgyotes (p = 6 x 10e-46), and that this one SNP accounted for almost 19% of the variance in AA levels. Individuals carrying at least one rs174537(G) allele had higher low-density lipoprotein (LDL-C) and total cholesterol levels. This effect of rs174537 was confirmed in an independent sample of 1,076 participants in the GOLDN study.[PMID 19148276OA-icon.png]
