Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: The human methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) gene plays a crucial role in folate metabolism. Data regarding the influence of MTHFR gene polymorphisms on male fertility status are scarce and conflicting. We determined associations between 3 MTHFR gene polymorphisms (C677T, A1298C, and G1793A), serum folate, and total homocysteine (tHcy) levels, with male fertility status and semen parameters....
