Effect of ACSL4 gene polymorphism (rs7886473) on metabolic syndrome and lipid levels

Abstract

Purpose: Acyl-CoA synthetase long-chain family member 4 (ACSL4) is thought to be related with obesity and metabolic syndrome via lipid metabolism. We aimed to investigate the effect of the single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) rs7886473, which is a common intron variant of ACSL4 gene on metabolic syndrome and lipids in Turkish society.
