BACKGROUND: Elevated plasma homocysteine level is associated with coronary artery disease (CAD). Homozygosity for the C677T mutation in the methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) gene is typically but inconsistently associated with hyperhomocysteinemia. We examined the impact of daily intake of folate, a co-factor in homocysteine metabolism, on plasma homocysteine and folate levels in CAD patients in...
