introduction: one factor known to cause thrombophilia in women with unexplained recurrent spontaneous abortion (rsa) is c677t polymorphism of methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase gene. this study aimed to determine the association between rsa and mthfr c677t polymorphism in iranian patients. methods: in this case-control study, 30 patients with previous history of two or more consecutive unexpla...

background: inherited thrombophilic gene polymorphisms have been related to the pathogenesis of venous thromboembolism and its outcomes. considering the scarcity of data on the frequency of the thrombophilic gene polymorphisms in iranian populations, the aim of this study was to assess such polymorphisms in healthy individuals. materials and methods: this cross-sectional study was performed on ...

background: we studied the role of maternal folic acid supplementation in modifying the effects of  methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (mthfr c677t and a1298c) gene polymorphisms in iranian children with oral clefts. materials and methods: forty?seven newborn infants with orofacial cleft and their mothers were selected randomly. mothers were matched regarding dietary folate intake.the genotypi...

we report a case of choroidal neovascularization (cnv) secondary to methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (mthfr) gene mutation in a 20-year-old male patient with hypopituitarism. treatment with three consecutive injections of intravitreal ranibizumab (anti-vascular endothelial growth factor) resulted in significant improvement of the patient’s vision and the appearance of the macula. a search ...
