Abstract excerpt
The common polymorphic transition 677C>T in the 5,10-methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) gene causes a thermolabile enzyme variant. This variant is associated with moderate hyperhomocysteinemia, a risk factor for vascular disease and thrombophilia. Up to now, it remained unclear if the thermolabile MTHFR variant either directly predisposes to vascular disease, or if 677T is only a genetic marker for...
