Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Preeclampsia has been related to single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of the methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) gene; however, data regarding the placenta are still lacking. OBJECTIVE: To determine the frequency of C677T and A1298C SNPs of the MTHFR gene in the placenta of preeclamptic pregnancies and healthy controls. METHODS: Genotyping of C677T and A1298C polymorphisms of the MTHFR gene...
