Are genetic variants of the methyl group metabolism enzymes risk factors predisposing to obesity?

Journal of endocrinological investigation - 1 Oct 2007

Terruzzi I, Senesi P, Fermo I, Lattuada G, Luzi L

Abstract excerpt

Obesity, due to the combination of inherited genes and environmental factors, is continually increasing. We evaluated the relationship between polymorphisms of methylene-tetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR C677T and A1298C), methionine synthase (MTR A2756G), methionine synthase reductase (MTRR A66G), betaine:homocysteine methyltransferase (BHMT G742A) and cystathionine beta-synthase (CBS 68-bp ins) genes and the...
