Abstract excerpt
Many studies have investigated the associations between methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) C677T and A1298C polymorphisms and risk of fractures, but the impact of MTHFR polymorphisms on fractures risk is unclear owing to the obvious inconsistence among those studies. This study aims to quantify the strength of association between MTHFR C677T and A1298C polymorphisms and risk of fractures. We searched the...
