Methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase polymorphism affects the change in homocysteine and folate concentrations resulting from low dose folic acid supplementation in women with unexplained recurrent miscarriages.

Abstract excerpt

To determine the effects of daily supplementation of 0.5 mg folic acid on homocysteine and folate concentrations, we investigated 49 women with a history of unexplained recurrent miscarriages. A methionine loading test (including the vitamin concentrations of concern) was used preceding and after 2 mo of folic acid intake. Subsequently, these effects were studied after stratification for C677T...
