Abstract excerpt
Heterozygosity and/or homozygosity for mutations at the genes of the enzymes involved in homocysteine metabolism may confer an increased risk for thrombosis by causing hyperhomocysteinemia. Although the mutations related to homocysteine metabolism possibly increase the risk of stroke, the data are conflicting and there are very few reports linking these defects to acute stroke in children. We aimed to study the...
