The FADS Indel I allele identified individuals, who displayed colorectal polyp prevention by EPA with a similar effect size to aspirin. Assessment of rs66698963 as a biomarker of therapeutic response to n-3 HUFAs in other populations and healthcare settings is warranted. The seAFOod polyp prevention trial and STOP-ADENOMA study were registered at International Standard Randomised Controlled Trial Number registry as ISRCTN05926847.
