Abstract excerpt
Whether the 677C-T polymorphism of the methylene tetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) gene acts as a risk factor for homocysteine-related vascular disease remains a matter of debate. Testing for the 677C-T nucleotide substitution and assay of plasma homocysteine were carried out simultaneously in 69 controls and 113 vascular disease patients from the Paris area. The variant gene frequency as well as the variant...
