BACKGROUND: Hyperhomocysteinemia, which is often associated with low folate status, is an independent risk factor for cardiovascular diseases and several other pathologies. The four most common functional polymorphisms in genes involved in folate/homocysteine metabolism are methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) C677T and A1298C, methionine synthase (MS) A2756G, and cystathionine beta-synthase (CBS)...
