Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Elevated plasma total homocysteine (tHcy) is increasingly being recognized as a risk factor for coronary artery disease (CAD) and other defects. Recent genetic studies have characterized molecular determinants contributing to altered homocysteine metabolism. Our objectives were therefore to confirm the relationship of tHcy with CAD and to examine the importance of genetic influence on tHcy in the...
