Multiple Coronary Artery Thrombosis in 5,10-Methylenetetrahydrofolate Reductase Gene Mutation
A 42-year-old man presented at our attention with chest pain. His cardiac risk factors were smoking habit and family history of coronary artery disease. At the ECG, a mild ST-segment elevation in the inferior leads was shown. A normal left ventricular function was demonstrated at the echocardiography. An emergency coronary angiography was performed, and an extensive thrombosis of the right coro...

متن کاملMethylenetetrahydrofolate reductase gene and coronary artery disease.
BACKGROUND Hypermocysteinemia has been substantiated as a risk factor for occlusive vascular disease. A common mutation (nucleotide 677 C-->T) has been described recently in the 5,10-methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) gene, which results in a valine for alanine substitution, a thermolabile enzyme, and a tendency to elevate plasma homocysteine levels and which has been proposed to contr...
متن کاملEffect of common methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase gene mutation on coronary artery disease in familial hypercholesterolemia.
Familial hypercholesterolemia (FH) is an autosomal dominant disorder characterized by primary hypercholesterolemia and premature coronary artery disease (CAD). However, the development of CAD in FH shows considerable interindividual variations. Elevated levels of plasma homocysteine have been recognized as independent risk factors for CAD. A 5,10-methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) gene...
