Abstract excerpt
Methionine synthase reductase (MTRR) is the locus of the cblE class of inborn errors of cobalamin metabolism that is characterized by megaloblastic anemia and homocystinuria. Two highly prevalent SNPs, c.66A>G (p.Ile22Met) and c.524C>T (p.Ser175Leu), are found in the MTRR gene. On the basis of the allele frequency of these amino acids and sequence comparison with members of the same family of proteins, the...
