Methylenetetrahydrofolate Reductase Gene Polymorphisms and Cardiovascular Diseases
A growing body of evidence suggests that mutations in MTHFR gene are involved in cardiovascular diseases (CVD) cardiac development, atherosclerosis, myocardial infarction, heart failure, hypertension, aneurysmsand several other diseasecancers, neurological and metabolic disorders. Genetic variations in other genes are added risk for CVDa leading cause of morbidity and mortality around the globe...
متن کاملAssociation of methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase gene polymorphisms & colorectal cancer in India.
BACKGROUND & OBJECTIVES Methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) is a critical enzyme in folate metabolism and involved in DNA synthesis, DNA repair and DNA methylation. The two common functional polymorphisms of MTHFR, 677 C-->T and 1298 A-->C have shown to impact several diseases including cancer. This case-control study was undertaken to analyse the association of the MTHFR gene polymorph...
متن کاملMethylenetetrahydrofolate reductase gene polymorphisms in Burkina Faso.
In Burkina Faso, the levels of plasma homocysteine (Hcy) are lower and the methionine loading tests suggest a more effective Hcy metabolism [1,2]. We found a relevant difference in the allele frequencies of C677T: T 7.7% in the young and 3.3% in old subjects respectively (see Table 1). Frequencies of C677T genotypes in old and young individuals were in Hardy Weinberg equilibrium (HWE). The diff...
متن کاملPrognostic significance of the polymorphisms in thymidylate synthase and methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase gene in lung cancer.
BACKGROUND Thymidylate synthase (TS) and methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) play important roles in folate metabolism. Previous studies have suggested that TS expression is a prognostic factor in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). The TS gene has a variable number of tandem repeats (VNTR) and single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) in the 5'-untranslated region, which are associated with...
متن کاملMeta-analysis of methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase polymorphism and lung cancer risk in Chinese.
Numerous studies have investigated association of methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) C677T polymorphism with lung cancer (LC) susceptibility in Chinese; however, the findings are inconsistent. Therefore, we performed a meta-analysis. PubMed, ISI Web of Knowledge, Chinese National Knowledge Infrastructure, and Wanfang were searched. Pooled ORs and 95% CIs were used to assess the strengt...
