Abstract excerpt
Deficiency in cystathionine beta synthase (CBS) enzyme sometimes leads to hyperhomocysteinemia/homocystinuria, conditions often associated with mental retardation (MR). In this investigation, association of idiopathic MR (IMR) with six CBS gene polymorphisms and fasting total plasma homocysteine (plHcy) was explored. Nuclear families with IMR probands (N=180) and control subjects (N=106) were recruited. Genomic...
