Methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase gene polymorphism is not related to the risk of ischemic cerebrovascular disease in a Brazilian population.
PURPOSE Data are conflicting concerning the risk for ischemic stroke associated with a common polymorphism in the gene encoding 5,10-methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase C677T, which predisposes carriers to hyperhomocysteinemia. A meta-analysis study suggested that the 5,10-methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase 677TT genotype might have a small influence in determining susceptibility to ischemic s...
متن کاملMethylenetetrahydrofolate Reductase gene polymorphism in children with allergic rhinitis.
BACKGROUND Methylenetetrahydrofolate Reductase (MTHFR) polymorphisms by impairing folate metabolism may influence the development of allergic diseases. The results of studies evaluating the relationship between MTHFR polymorphisms and atopic disease are controversial. The aim of this study was to investigate the association between the polymorphisms of C677T and A1298C for MTHFR gene and allerg...
متن کاملEffect of Eight Weeks of Compound Exercises on Human Body in Obese Males with Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease with Emphasis on Methylenetetrahydrofolate Reductase Gene Polymorphism
Background and purpose: Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is the most common liver disorder in the world. Genetic factors are believed to be associated with development of NAFLD. This research aimed at studying the effect of eight weeks of compound exercises (aerobic and resistance) on human body with three genotypes (TT, CT, CC) of C677T polymorphism of methylenetetrahydrofolate reduct...
متن کاملAssociation of CCR2 Gene but not CCR5 Gene Polymorphisms with Alzheimer’s Disease
Chemokines participate in the regulation of immune and inflammatory responses by interacting with their specific receptors on related immune and inflammatory cells such as B-lymphocytes, T-lymphocytes and antigen-presenting cells. Chemokines and their receptors are therefore considered to mediate inflammation and tissue damage in autoimmune disorders. The recent studies have revealed the genoty...
متن کاملEvaluation of the Association between the C677T Polymorphism of Methylenetetrahydrofolate Reductase Gene and Recurrent Spontaneous Abortion
Introduction: One factor known to cause thrombophilia in women with unexplained recurrent spontaneous abortion (RSA) is C677T polymorphism of methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase gene. This study aimed to determine the association between RSA and MTHFR C677T polymorphism in Iranian patients. Methods: In this case-control study, 30 patients with previous history of two or more consecutive unexpla...
