Mthfr Polymorphism (c677t) in Overweight/obese Thai
We analyzed the association between MTHFR (C677T) gene polymorphism with serum concentrations of homocysteine, folate, and vitamin B12 in 37 male and 112 female overweight/ obese Thai volunteers (BMI ≥25.00 kg/m2), and compared them with 23 male and 90 female control subjects (BMI=18.5-24.99 kg/m2). Statistically significant higher levels of serum homocysteine were found in the overweight/obese...
متن کاملHyperhomocysteinaemia and MTHFR C677T gene polymorphism in renal transplant recipients.
AIM To study the effect of folate treatment on hyperhomocysteinaemia and the effect of 5,10-methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) gene polymorphism on total homocysteine and folate concentrations after renal transplantation. METHODS A total of 30 transplanted children and adolescents were investigated for total homocysteine and folate serum concentrations before and after folate treatme...
متن کاملMTHFR C677T Polymorphism and Cervical Cancer Risk: a Meta-Analysis
Cervical cancer is the third most commonly diagnosed cancer and the fourth leading cause of cancer death in the females worldwide, accounting for 9% (529,800 cases) of the total new cancer cases and 8% (275,100 deaths) of the total cancer deaths among females in 2008 (Jemal et al., 2011). More than 85% of these cases and deaths occur in developing countries (Jemal et al., 2011, Li et al., 2011)...
متن کاملAssociation between MTHFR C677T polymorphism and abdominal aortic aneurysm risk
BACKGROUND Abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) is a life-threatening condition. A number of studies reported the association between methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) C677T polymorphism and AAA risk, but substantial controversial findings were observed and the strength of the association remains unclear. OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to investigate the aforementioned association i...
متن کاملMTHFR C677T polymorphism and ovarian cancer risk: a meta-analysis.
BACKGROUND Many studies have investigated possible association between the methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) C677T polymorphism and ovarian cancer risk, but the impact is still unclear owing to the obvious inconsistencies. This study was performed to quantify the strength of the association with a meta- analysis. METHODS We searched the PubMed, Embase, and CNKI databases for studies...
