Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVES: Congenital heart diseases (CHD) are common birth defects in the world. The methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) gene is one of the most important candidate genes for the development of CHD. This case-control study aimed to evaluate the effect of MTHFR c.382A>G and c.1129C>T genetic polymorphisms as risk factors for the development of CHD. METHODS: A total of 230 CHD patients and 237 non-CHD...
