A variance QTL approach to uncover gene-fish oil supplement interaction loci for 14 circulating unsaturated fatty acid traits
Gene-environment interactions (GEIs) contribute to circulating polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA) and monounsaturated fatty acid (MUFA) profiles. GEIs may partly explain differences in trait variance across genotype groups. To identify GEIs for circulating unsaturated fatty acids, we adopted a two-stage strategy. First, we detected quantitative trait loci associated with trait variance (vQTLs). Second, we tested these…
