The synergistic effect of bone mineral density and methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) polymorphism (C677T) on fractures

2020-06-14

Abstract excerpt

<p>A functional polymorphism in methylenetetrahydrofolatereductase (MTHFR) has been identifi ed at codon677 (C677T). The T-allele variant (valine type) has lowerenzyme activity than the wild type (C-allele or alaninetype), resulting in a slightly elevated homocysteine level,which has been recently recognized as a risk factor for fracture.However, whether subjects bearing the T allele havehigher susceptibility to f...
