Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Hyperhomocysteinemia, a condition that is strongly determined by dietary intake of B vitamins, has been suggested to be an independent risk factor for ischemic stroke (IS). To test this hypothesis, we performed a meta-analysis to investigate the associations between 5,10-methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) C677T gene polymorphism, which plays a critical role in modulating plasma homocysteine...
