Hyperhomocysteinaemia in a young woman presenting with stroke, associated with methylene tetrahydrofolate reductase C677T homozygosity.

Annals of clinical biochemistry - 1 May 2004

Saldana Chaparro R, Barron J L

Abstract excerpt

We present a case of ischaemic stroke in a 23-year-old woman, associated with homozygous methylene tetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR)-C677T and hyperhomocysteinaemia. Her other risk factors for stroke were ostium secundum atrial septal defect and use of oral contraceptives. This case illustrates the need to include plasma homocysteine (Hcy) measurement in investigations following stroke. In the presence of...
