The MTHFR gene polymorphism is associated with lean body mass but not fat body mass.

Human genetics - 1 Mar 2008

Abstract excerpt

Along with aging, human body composition undergoes notable changes and may incur sarcopenia, obesity or osteoporosis. Sarcopenia is related to a wide series of human health problems and can be largely characterized by loss of lean body mass (LBM). Studies have showed relevance of methylenetetrahy...
