The polymorphisms MTHFR 677C>T and 1298A>C, MTR 2756A>G, RFC1 80G>A, and TYMS 2R/3R-alone or in combinations-were not associated with the risk of chromosomal aneuploidy in TS.
The results suggest that the C677T and A1298C polymorphisms of the MTHFR gene are not related to homocysteine levels in Brazilian patients with TS, despite the differential distribution of the mutated allele C (A1298C) in these patients.
As for polymorphism A1298C, the patients with Turner Syndrome and chromosome mosaicism presented genotypes 1298AA, 1298AC and 1298CC at the following frequencies: 58.3%, 27.8% and 13.9%, respectively.
