Abstract excerpt
Methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) is an important enzyme involved in folate metabolism, which is essential for DNA synthesis and methylation. Genetic variations in the MTHFR gene seem to contribute to a decreased activity of MTHFR, ultimately confer increased susceptibility to stroke. To assess the association between this polymorphism and stroke risk, we conducted a comprehensive meta-analysis based on...
