Abstract excerpt
Hyperhomocysteinemia is a risk factor for ischemic stroke. We investigated five functional polymorphisms involved in homocysteine metabolism in each 159 stroke patients and controls. The folate-sensitive polymorphism methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) c. 677 C > T (A222V) referred a non-significant risk of ischemic stroke (odds ratio: 1.20) in all patients, and homozygosity for MTHFR c. 677 C > T was...
