5,10 methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase polymorphism in black South African women with pre-eclampsia.

Abstract excerpt

The polymorphic C677T mutation in the gene encoding 5,10 methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase has been shown to be a risk factor for pre-eclampsia in Japanese and European women when inherited as a homozygous trait. We attempted to verify these findings in a black African population with a high incidence of pre-eclampsia. No difference in frequency of the T-allele was observed in 105 women with pre-eclampsia,...
