Recurrent Myocardial Infarction Despite Normal C-reactive Protein in a Patient with Behcet's Disease and Compound Heterozygous Methylenetetrahydrofolate Reductase (MTHFR) Mutations (C677T and A1298C).
The aim of this study is to investigate the associations between C677T and A1298C polymorphisms in the methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) gene and the plasma homocysteine (Hcy), folate, and B12 levels in a relatively large cohort of Tunisian patients with BD.
The aim of this study was to evaluate the association between thiolactonase (HTLase) activity and plasma homocysteine levels (tHcy) in a BD population and to investigate their association with methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) 677C-->T genotype.
In BD patients with ocular involvement, however, the frequencies of MTHFR TT homogenetic type (27.8%) were significantly and statistically higher than those in BD patients without ocular involvement (4.9%, p = 0.022, odds ratio = 7.5), or the controls (2.4%, p = 0.003, odds ratio = 20.0).
Effects of factor V gene G1691A, methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase gene C677T, and prothombin gene G20210A mutations on deep venous thrombogenesis in Behçet's disease.
