Abstract excerpt
Genetic polymorphisms in the one-carbon folate pathway have been widely studied in association with a number of conditions. Most of the research has focused on the 677C>T polymorphism in the coding region of the 5,10-methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) gene. However, there are a total of 25 genes in this pathway coding for enzymes, transporters and receptors, which can be investigated using 267 tagging...
