C677T and A1298C gene polymorphisms and sporadic early-onset Alzheimer’s disease
نویسندگان
چکیده
Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is a genetically complex and heterogeneous disorder. Although the clinical manifestations and the pathological features have been well elucidated, a clear etiology of AD is still unknown to this day. In the past few decades, investigations have elucidated that both the genetic and the environmental factors are capable of causing the development of AD. We report a patient with clinically diagnosed earlyonset Alzheimer's disease, age of onset 45 years. Genetic analysis revealed two MTHFR heterozygous polymorphisms C677T and A1298C.

Association of Methylenetetrahydrofolate Reductase Gene Polymorphisms with Sporadic Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis
Studies have revealed that elevated homocysteine levels can cause damage to motor neurons through multiple neurotoxic mechanisms, thus leading to the pathogenesis of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). One way by which homocysteine levels are increased in the body is the consequence of methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) gene polymorphisms. Therefore, to address this question, we studi...

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...

Background: One of the mutated genes associated with a lower level of 5MTHF necessary for DNA methylation and possibly implicated in the carcinogenesis of sporadic colorectal cancer (CRC) is the gene encoding the methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase enzyme (MTHFR). Objectives: to investigate the frequency of the C667T and A1298C MTHFR variants in patients with sporadic CRC and controls; to estab...

The C677T and A1298C polymorphisms of methylenetatrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) gene are reported to have a relationship to methotrexate (MTX) metabolism, with conflicting results. The aim of this study was to determine the frequency of MTHFR C677 T and A1298C gene polymorphisms in a group of Turkish RA patients and evaluate its association with MTX toxicity.Sixty-four patients with RA and 31...
