The methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase C677T gene mutation is associated with hyperhomocysteinemia, cardiovascular disease and plasma B-type natriuretic peptide levels in Korea.

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Hyperhomocysteinemia is known to be a risk factor for cardiovascular diseases and is associated with a common mutation in the 5,10-methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) gene (677 C>T). The aims of this study were to confirm: 1) the association between the MTHFR C677T mutation and plasma homocysteine (Hcy) levels; 2) the MTHFR C677T mutation as a risk factor; 3) the association of the MTHFR C677T...
