Abstract excerpt

PURPOSE: Hyperhomocysteinemia is commonly associated with polymorphisms in the methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) gene. The level of homocysteine can be lowered by dietary intake of folate. A protective effect of folate supplementation has been reported against cataract. Here we investigate MTHFR polymorphisms in human cataract. DESIGN: Retrospective case-control association study. METHODS: Patients with...
