The MTHFR polymorphism (C677T and A1298C) resulted in different outcomes regarding homocysteinemia among individuals of each group (diabetic and control).
The proband's 69-year-old father, with NAION and ischemic stroke, had PTG heterozygosity, familial high factor VIII, and compound MTHFR C677T-A1298C mutation with homocysteinemia.
Association of homocysteinemia with high concentrations of serum insulin and uric acid in Brazilian subjects with metabolic syndrome genotyped for C677T polymorphism in the methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase gene.
High frequency of vitamin B12 deficiency in asymptomatic individuals homozygous to MTHFR C677T mutation is associated with endothelial dysfunction and homocysteinemia.
Homocysteinemia is inversely correlated with platelet count and directly correlated with sE- and sP-selectin levels in females homozygous for C677T methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase.
The aim of this study was to evaluate (1) homocysteinemia and the prevalence of the C677T MTHFR polymorphism in Marfan patients and (2) whether the severity of cardiovascular manifestations is associated with homocysteinemia and/or C677T polymorphism.
He was homozygous for the 677C-->T; A-->V mutation in the methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) gene causing homocysteinemia, heterozygous for the mutant factor V Leiden gene causing resistance to activated protein C, and heterozygous for the 4G/5G polymorphism in the PAI-1 promoter gene causing high PAI-Fx.
