Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: In the presence of low serum folate, mutant 5,20-methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR + [A223V/C677T]) in the homozygous state (+/+), may predispose to higher plasma homocysteine (tHct) levels and coronary artery disease (CAD). To determine the impact of this relationship on pred...
