Our objective was to study the prevalence of the MTHFRC677T polymorphism in alcohol-dependent subjects and the influence of this polymorphism on symptoms associated with alcoholism.

Taking into account that alcohol dependence is associated with elevated homocysteine levels, this study was undertaken to investigate different MTHFR (methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase) genotypes related to homocysteine metabolism in patients with alcohol dependence who were classified according to Lesch's typology (LT).
The present study suggests an influence of the MTHFR C677T-polymorphism on the etiology of alcohol WS and alcohol dependence in men in a western European population.
