Abstract excerpt
Methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) polymorphisms may negatively influence one-carbon metabolism and increase health risks in women of reproductive age. The effect of MTHFR single nucleotide polymorphisms at bp 677 and/or 1298 and differences in folate and vitamin B-12 status on plasma homocysteine concentration in women of reproductive age (20-30 y; n = 186) were investigated. From the multivariate...
