Greater increases in Hcy concentration during AEDs treatment appear to occur in individuals with the MTHFR CT (C677T) and MTHFD1 GG (G1958A) genotypes.
Similarly, low plasma glycine showed stronger risk relationship with AMI</span> in the rs1076991 CC genotype carriers but weaker associations in patients carrying the minor T allele (P<sub>interaction</sub>=0.02).
We explored the association between a MTHFD1 polymorphism (rs1076991 C > T) and acute myocardial infarction (AMI), and potential effect modifications by folic acid/B12 and/or vitamin B6 treatment in suspected stable angina pectoris patients (n = 2381) participating in the randomized Western Norway B Vitamin Intervention Trial (WENBIT).
Associations of plasma serine and glycine concentrations with risk of AMI</span> across 2 common and functional MTHFD1 polymorphisms (rs2236225 and rs1076991) were explored in Cox regression models.
When stratified by age/at onset age, we found that A allele and AA genotype frequencies in cases were higher than in controls and the differences were close to significant [A vs. G, P = 0.032, Odds ratio (OR) 1.642, 95% CI 1.040-2.591; AA + GA vs. GG, P = 0.068, OR 1.665, 95% CI 0.961-2.885; AA vs. GG, P = 0.059, OR 3.458, 95% CI 0.894-13.369] in <65 years groups, which suggested that the MTHFD1 G1958A A allele might be a weak risk factor for early onset AD although it needs further confirmation.
In AD there were significant differences of the levels of only Cys (GG, MTHFR, G1793A) and Met/Hcy (AA, MTHFD1, G1958A) whereas in PD there were more significant differences of the levels of thiols: Hcy [MTHFR: CT (C677T) and GG (G1793A); MTR, AG (A2756G)], Met [MTR, AA (A2756G)], Cys [MTR, AG (A2756G)], and Met/Hcy [MTHFR: CC, CT (C677T) and AA (A1298C), and GG (G1793A); MTHFD1 AA(G1958A); MTR AA(A2756G)].
In the case-control study, those with the MTHFD1 G1958A variant were associated with around twofold risk of anencephaly (p=0.01) and spina bifida (p<0.01).
This case-control study investigated the interactions of methylenetetrahydrofolate dehydrogenase 1 (MTHFD1)-1958G>A (rs2236225) and the methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) - 677C>T (rs1801133) and 1298A>C (rs1801131) polymorphisms with the risk of AE in the Northeast Indian population.
At the multiple logistic regression analysis adjusted for traditional cardiovascular risk factors (sex, age, hypertension, smoking habit, dyslipidaemia, diabetes) and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), rs8003379 MTHFD1 (odds ratio (OR) 0.41, 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.26 to 0.65) and rs326118 MTRR (OR 0.47, 95% CI 0.29 to 0.77) polymorphisms resulted in independent susceptibility factor for AAA.
We hypothesized that ADHD related cognitive deficit could be attributed to abnormalities in the folate cycle and explored functional single nucleotide polymorphisms in methylenetetrahydrofolate dehydrogenase (rs2236225), reduced folate carrier (rs1051266), and methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (rs1801131 and rs1801133) in families with ADHD probands (N = 185) and ethnically matched controls (N = 216) recruited following the DSM-IV.
Functional gene variants in MTR (rs1805087), CBS (rs5742905), MTHFR (rs1801133 &rs1801131), MTHFD (rs2236225), RFC1 (rs1051266), plasma vitamin B12, folate and homocysteine were analyzed. rs1805087 'A' showed strong association with ADHD.
In people, a single nucleotide polymorphism of this gene (1958G>A; rs2236225) is associated with increased risk for bipolar disorder and schizophrenia, neural tube and other birth defects.
Our findings provide evidence for associations of breast cancer survival with folate-related SNPs in a population of Western Siberian region of Russia and the MTHFD1 (1958G>A) may have additional prognostic value especially among premenopausal patients.
In total, 167 children with ALL were genotyped for methylenetetrahydrofolate dehydrogenase (MTHFD1) 1958G > A, methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) 677C > T and 1298A > C and thymidylate synthase (TYMS) 2R > 3R polymorphisms.
At the multiple logistic regression analysis adjusted for traditional cardiovascular risk factors (sex, age, hypertension, smoking habit, dyslipidaemia, diabetes) and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), rs8003379 MTHFD1 (odds ratio (OR) 0.41, 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.26 to 0.65) and rs326118 MTRR (OR 0.47, 95% CI 0.29 to 0.77) polymorphisms resulted in independent susceptibility factor for AAA.
