Folate Metabolism Gene 5,10-Methylenetetrahydrofolate Reductase (MTHFR) Is Associated with ADHD in Myelomeningocele Patients
The objective of this study was to examine the relation between the 5, 10-methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) gene and behaviors related to attention- deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) in individuals with myelomeningocele. The rationale for the study was twofold: folate metabolizing genes, (e.g. MTHFR), are important not only in the etiology of neural tube defects but are also criti...
متن کاملmethylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (mthfr) gene c677t polymorphism is associated with coronary atherosclerosis disease in a sample of iranian patients
background: several studies showed that elevated plasma homocysteine level is a risk factor for coronary artery disease (cad). a common polymorphism c677t of methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (mthfr) gene is reported to be associated with decreased enzyme activity and increased blood homocysteine level. methods: this study evaluated the association between c677t polymorphism and blood homocys...
متن کاملSerum folate and methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) C677T polymorphism adjusted for folate intake.
BACKGROUND Serum folate concentration is lower in individuals with the methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) 677TT genotype than in those with the MTHFR 677CC or 677CT genotypes. Since studies considering folate intake are limited, we examined the association between folate intake and serum folate levels, according to the genotype. METHODS The subjects comprised 170 Japanese persons (74...
متن کاملMethylenetetrahydrofolate Reductase (MTHFR) Gene Mutations in Patients with Idiopathic Scoliosis: A Clinical Chart Review
The effects of genetic variations of methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) enzyme activity have been the discussion of many research papers. It has been associated with multiple neurological sequelae, and has been implicated in other chronic diseases. Although many genetic influences on the development and/or progression of idiopathic scoliosis have been reported, there has been no report...
متن کاملMethylenetetrahydrofolate Reductase Polymorphisms in Iranian Patients with Glanzmann’s Thrombasthenia
Background: The most common polymorphisms identified in the Methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) gene, C677T and A1298C lead to defective activity of this enzyme and increase the risk of venous and arterial thrombosis. There are limited investigations regarding the effects of thrombogenic polymorphisms on the clinical phenotypes of rare hereditary hemorrhagic disorders like Glanzmann's t...
