Genetic variants in FADS1 (e.g., rs174547) affect the conversion of alpha-linolenic acid to EPA/DHA and linoleic acid to arachidonic acid. Since arachidonic acid is a precursor for prostaglandins involved in ovulation, implantation, and uterine contractions, an indirect influence on fertility is discussed. However, the evidence is moderate: there are GWAS linking FADS1 variants to fatty acid levels and some observational studies on fertility outcomes, but no randomized controlled trials proving a causal effect. MyBody-X DNA tests may include such variants, but effect sizes are small and clinical relevance is unclear. Fertility is multifactorial (age, hormones, lifestyle, nutrition). A single FADS1 variant has no diagnostic or predictive value. Consumers should not rely on such genetic tests for family planning and should consult a physician.

In general, fertility checks based on single genetic variants have low predictive value because fertility is multifactorial (hormones, age, lifestyle). Sleep is known to influence hormones like melatonin and cortisol, which can modulate fertility. Myths such as 'a genetic test can tell you exactly when you will conceive' are not scientifically supported.
