Methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase gene, homocysteine and coronary artery disease: the A1298C polymorphism does matter. Inferences from a case study (Madeira, Portugal)

Objective: To determine plasma homocysteine levels and the incidence of methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) gene C677T polymorphism in a group of subjects who

The aim of this study was to assess the relationship between MTHFR gene polymorphism and plasma homocysteine level with the traditional risk factors of coronary artery disease in

After adjustment for major risk factors, we found an independent association between hyperhomocystinemia and CAD (OR = 2.48; 95% CI = 1.02-6.14). Patients with a more advanced

The present cross-sectional study evaluated 2,337 patients with a diagnosis of coronary artery disease from a tertiary public hospital specialized in cardiology and
