Myocardial Infarction in a Young Patient with Methylene Tetrahydrofolate Reductase (mthfr) Gene Mutation
Modifiable risk factors for CHD include high blood pressure, high blood cholesterol, smoking, obesity, physical inactivity, diabetes, and stress. When a patient presents with the typical features of CHD (like ours) but do not have the modifiable risk factors, genetic causes should be considered. A limited number of genetic variants are proven to be independent risk factors for thromboembolism. ...
متن کاملMethylene tetrahydrofolate reductase gene mutation together with anticardiolipin antibody during pregnancy: a case report.
CONTEXT High plasmatic homocysteine levels have been associated with arterial and venous thrombosis. The C677T methylene tetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) gene mutation is one of the known causes for high homocysteine levels in plasma. Anticardiolipin antibody (ACA) is also associated with thrombosis and, along with other clinical complications such as recurrent abortion and stillbirth, is par...
متن کاملAssociation of Methylenetetrahydrofolate Reductase (MTHFR) Gene C677T and A1298C Polymorphisms with Myocardial Infarction From North of Fars Province
Background: The association between Methylene tetrahydrofolate reductase polymorphism and Coronary Artery diseases risk has been both confirmed and refuted in a number of published studies. The aim of this study was to investigate whether genetic polymorphisms of MTHFR (C677T, A1298C) contributed to the development of myocardial infarction (MI). Materials and Methods: The present case-contro...
متن کامل[Mutations in the methylene-tetrahydrofolate reductase gene and Down syndrome].
Down syndrome (DS) is a complex genetic and metabolic disorder attributed to the presence of three copies of chromosome 21. The extra chromosome derives from the mother in 93% of cases and is due to abnormal chromosome segregation during meiosis (nondisjunction). Except for advanced age at conception, maternal risk factors for meiotic nondisjunction are not well established. A recent preliminar...
متن کاملAssociation between the methylene tetrahydrofolate reductase gene C677T mutation and colchicine unresponsiveness in Behcet’s disease
PURPOSE Behcet's disease (BD) is a multisystemic immunoinflammatory disorder characterized by mucocutaneous, ocular, vascular, and central nervous system manifestations. The common methylene tetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) gene C677T mutation is a known risk factor for thrombosis. The aim of this study was to investigate the MTHFR gene C677 mutation in patients with BD and evaluate if there ...
