Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: The tetra-primer amplification refractory mutation system (T-ARMS) PCR assay is a cost-effective and rapid method for SNP genotyping. The methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) c.1286 A > C (rs1801131) polymorphism can influence MTHFR enzyme activity and homocysteine levels. While its independent clinical impact remains a subject of debate, it is frequently screened in thrombophilia panels,...
