Association of c.+677 C>T (rs1801133) and c.+1298 A>C (rs1801131) MTHFR genetic variants with cardiometabolic and disease risk in systemic lupus erythematosus patients: A cross-sectional study.

Abstract excerpt

Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) patients present a high prevalence of cardiometabolic risk, associated with worse clinical manifestations and mortality. Folate, an essential micronutrient that participates in vital immune cellular functions, could positively affect the cardiometabolic and disease risk in SLE, through the methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) enzyme, which participates in the folate...
