Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Homocysteine (Hcy) plays an important role in vascular function and Hcy level contributes to pathogenesis of ischemic stroke (IS). MTHFR gene polymorphism may have effects on IS risks by influencing the Hcy metabolic pathway. In the present study, a case-control study was designed to evaluate the relationship among MTHFR C677Tpolymorphism, plasma Hcy level, and susceptibility of IS in Chinese...
