Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Association of methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) 677C>T gene polymorphism with hyperhomocysteinemia, renal failure, and cardiovascular events is controversial. We investigated the relationship of MTHFR 677C>T polymorphisms with left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) and renal insufficiency. METHODS: Glomerular filtration rate (GFR) and left myocardial ventricular mass/m2 were assessed in 138...
