Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: The objectives of this study are to examine the prevalence of combined methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) 677C-->T and 1298A-->C mutations in patients with venous thrombosis (VT) and healthy volunteers and to determine if these mutations are in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium. METHODS AND RESULTS: Sixty-five patients with VT and 64 healthy volunteers were assessed for MTHFR 677T and 1298C alleles...
