Abstract excerpt
Methylene Tetrahydrofolate Reductase (MTHFR) catalyzes the conversion of methylene tetrahydrofolate to methylte trahydrofolate. The 677th nucleotide of the MTHFR gene is often regarded as a risk factor of cardiovascular disease. Previous studies demonstrated an elevated risk of ischemic stroke with the MTHFR677TT genotype. In this study, we employed a plasma proteomics method to investigate the connection between...
