Genetic selection? A study of individual variation in the enzymes of folate metabolism.

BMC medical genetics - 1 Feb 2010

Jennings Barbara A, Willis Gavin A, Skinner Jane, Relton Caroline L

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Genetic variation in folate metabolism has been associated with survival in utero, the success of in vitro fertilisation, multiple pathologies and longevity. METHODS: We have looked at the prevalence of genetic variants of the enzymes MTHFR and TYMS in 2,898 DNA samples derived from f...
