Abstract excerpt
The C677T mutation of the methylenetetrahydrofolate (MTHFR) gene is a nutrient-oriented, "eco" genetic mutation that is associated with elevated levels of homocysteine and an increased risk for coronary heart disease. The purpose of this study was to optimize and automate an assay for PCR-restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) genotyping of the MTHFR gene. We developed an automated assay for the PCR-RFLP...
