BACKGROUND: Although the common 677 C --> T polymorphism of the methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) gene is implicated in the development of hyperhomocysteinemia, its correlation with venous thromboembolism (VTE) remains controversial. We conducted a meta-analysis of previously published studies to clarify the role of the MTHFR 677 TT homozygous genotype in association with VTE. METHODS AND RESULTS:...
