Abstract excerpt
Elevated levels of homocysteine is a risk factor for coronary artery disease. The C677T transition in methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) is associated with increased homocysteine levels in the general population. We analysed the association between the MTHFR C677T polymorphism and serum homocysteine concentrations in patients with coronary artery disease (CAD). Allele frequencies for the 'C' (wild-type)...
