Abstract excerpt
Plasma total homocysteine (tHcy) concentration, an independent risk factor of atherosclerosis, has numerous genetic and environmental determinants. While the thermolabile polymorphism in MTHFR encoding methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase is the best-studied genetic factor associated with variation in plasma tHCy, other candidate genes are being evaluated. Recently, we discovered that cystathioninuria was caused...
