Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND AND AIMS: Abnormal functioning of 5,10-methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) enhances the risk for coronary heart disease (CHD). Here, we tested whether a single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) located in the 3' untranslated region (UTR) of MTHFR was associated with CHD susceptibility by affecting microRNAs binding. METHODS AND RESULTS: We first analyzed in silico the SNPs localized in the 3' UTR...
