Abstract excerpt
Background: The methylene tetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) is a folate-dependent enzyme which catalyzes the conversion of homocysteine to methionine. Two single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) within this gene namely rs1801133 (C677T) and rs1801131 (A1298C) have been associated with elevated risk of ischemic stroke and total serum homocysteine in some populations.Aim: To assess associations between MTHFR SNPs...
