Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the effect of methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) C677T polymorphism on plasma homocysteine (tHcy) and platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF-AA) levels in children with sickle cell disease (SCD), and ascertain their role in predicting high transcranial doppler velocity (TCD). METHODS: We estimated MTHFRC677T gene poly-morphism, plasma tHyc and PDGF-AA in 44 SCD patients and 44...
