Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND & OBJECTIVE: Numerous studies have identified hyperhomocysteinemia as an independent risk factor for coronary artery disease (CAD).

However, the relationship between severity of CAD and polymorphism of MTHFR has not been systematically evaluated. The present study was...
