Abstract excerpt
The activity of the enzyme methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) determines homocysteine (Hcy) levels, and polymorphisms in its gene affect the activity of the enzyme. Changes in the enzyme's activity may lead to a higher susceptibility to develop arterial and venous thromboembolic disease. The aim was to analyze the relationship between the C677T and A1298C polymorphisms of MTHFR, Hcy levels, and...
