Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: 5,10-Methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) plays a central role in folate metabolism. Previous studies have suggested an association between the MTHFR 1298A/C polymorphism and several diseases, such as cardiovascular and psychiatric diseases, neural tube defects, diabetes, and cancer. Currently, either PCR-restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) technique or real-time PCR using Taqman...
