C677T mutation of methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase gene determined in blood or plasma multiple-injection capillary electrophoresis and induced fluorescence detection

Simultaneous determination of methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase C677T and factor V G1691A genotypes by mutagenically separated PCR and multiple-injection capillary electrophoresis.

The C677T mutation of the methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase gene and the G1691A (Leiden) mutation of the factor V gene are established risk factors for thromboembolic disease. We here present an assay for the simultaneous genotyping of these common genetic variants. The assay involves a strategy based on multiplex mutagenically separated PCR performed in a single tube containing six primers. ...

Riboflavin as a determinant of plasma total homocysteine: effect modification by the methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase C677T polymorphism.

BACKGROUND Plasma total homocysteine (tHcy) is a risk factor for cardiovascular disease. tHcy concentrations are partly determined by folate, cobalamin, and vitamin B(6) status, and methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) and other flavoenzymes are important for the biotransformation of these vitamins. This motivates the investigation of the possible relationship between riboflavin status a...

Common Mutations of the Methylenetetrahydrofolate Reductase (MTHFR) Gene in Non-Syndromic Cleft Lips and Palates Children in North-West of Iran

Introduction: Cleft lips and cleft palates are common congenital abnormalities in children. Various chromosomal loci have been suggested to be responsible the development of these abnormalities. The present study was carried out to investigate the association between the suspected genes (methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase [MTHFR] A1298C and C677T) that might contribute into the etiology of the...
