Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Mutations in the 5,10-methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) gene could reduce the enzyme activity and lead to hyperhomocysteinemia, a condition that has been associated with several vascular conditions, in particular, coronary artery disease and deep vein thrombosis. AIM: The aim of this study was to assess the prevalence of the two most common polymorphisms, C677T and A1298C, which have not...
