Abstract excerpt
Moderate hyperhomocysteinemia has been identified as a new independent risk factor for cardiovascular and neurodegenerative diseases. This fact has produced interest in the study of genetic variants involved in homocysteine metabolism and its relationship to pathogenesis. Recently, more than 15 different genes were studied for their relationship to plasma homocysteine levels. We determined the influence of...
