End-stage renal disease (ESRD) is a public health problem with a high burden. The condition is associated with abnormalities in lipid metabolism. The fatty acid desaturase (FADS) gene cluster includes three genes that are significantly correlated with a number of pathologic conditions related to abnormal lipid levels. In the current study, we genotyped rs174556, rs99780, and rs7115739 single nucleotide polymorphisms within the Show less
