Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: Methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) is an important factor responsible for hyperhomocysteinemia. The relation of MTHFR gene C677T polymorphism and premature coronary heart disease was studied. METHODS: MTHFR C677T genetic polymorphisms in 67 patients with premature coronary heart disease were detected by PCR-RFLP technique. RESULTS: In case group, the frequency of T homogenic type was 34.3%...
