BACKGROUND: There is concern that IVF could compromise normal imprinting and methylation of DNA. Methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) regulates the flow of folic acid-derived, one-carbon moieties for methylation and is critical to early embryonic development. Therefore, we hypothesized that common polymorphisms in MTHFR could associate with IVF outcome. METHODS: MTHFR C677T and A1298C polymorphism...
