methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (mthfr) gene c677t polymorphism is associated with coronary atherosclerosis disease in a sample of iranian patients
نویسندگان
چکیده
background: several studies showed that elevated plasma homocysteine level is a risk factor for coronary artery disease (cad). a common polymorphism c677t of methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (mthfr) gene is reported to be associated with decreased enzyme activity and increased blood homocysteine level. methods: this study evaluated the association between c677t polymorphism and blood homocysteine level with cad in 100 patients compared to 100 normal controls. results: higher prevalence of the c677t polymorphism as well as elevated level in blood homosysteine were observed in iranian cad cases compared to the normal control. the c677t mthfr common polymorphism was significantly associated with cad, supported by a p value 0.032 and chi-square equal to 6.87. conclusions: the tt genotype of mthfr gene was attributed to increased blood homocysteine level in patients compared to t/c and c/c genotypes in studied iranian cases. this study shows the advantage of testing c677t polymorphism in affected patients as a risk factor for coronary artery disease.

Methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) C677T polymorphism in psoriasis in southern Turkey*
Background: Psoriasis is a multigenic and multifactorial dermatological disease linked to cardiovascular diseases. Increased levels of homocysteine in patients with psoriasis have been demonstrated in many studies. The most frequently investigated genetic defect that plays a role in homocysteine metabolism is single point substitution (C to T) located on the 677th nucleotide of the methylenetet...
متن کاملThe TT genotype of the methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase C677T gene polymorphism is associated with the extent of coronary atherosclerosis in patients at high risk for coronary artery disease.
BACKGROUND There are conflicting results on the relationship of N5,N10-methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase C677T gene variation in coronary artery disease and myocardial infarction. METHODS AND RESULTS We analysed this gene variation in 2453 male Caucasians whose coronary anatomy was defined by coronary angiography. In the total sample, the C677T gene polymorphism was not associated with the ...
متن کاملIs methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase C677T polymorphism associated with hyperuricemia?
Several epidemiological studies have examined the relationship of the methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) C677T polymorphism with hyperuricemia. However, the results were controversial. We therefore conducted a large cross-sectional study (2,219 subjects) and an updated meta-analysis by combining previous studies (9,502 subjects) to provide more empirical evidence for the association. A...

Methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) is a critical enzyme in folate metabolism and is involved in DNA synthesis, DNA repair and DNA methylation. The two common functional polymorphisms of MTHFR, 677 C→T and 1298 A→C, have been shown to impact various diseases, including cancer. The 677 C→T polymorphism has been widely investigated in different cancers and has been implicated as a risk fa...
متن کاملC677T Methylenetetrahydrofolate Reductase (MTHFR) Gene Polymorphism in Schizophrenia and Bipolar Disorder: An Association Study in Iranian Population
OBJECTIVE The methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) gene polymorphism C677T is suspected to be a risk factor for psychiatric disorders, but it remains inconclusive whether the MTHFR polymorphism C677T is imputed to vulnerability to schizophrenia and bipolar disorder. METHOD We prompted impetus to appraise this polymorphism in an Iranian population. Therefore, 90 patients with bipolar di...
متن کاملC677T gene polymorphism of methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) in meningiomas and high-grade gliomas.
BACKGROUND Methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) plays a role in DNA biosynthesis, methylation and repair in actively dividing cells by acting on folate metabolism. A common C677T polymorphism in the gene for MTHFR leads to an enzyme with decreased activity. MTHFR polymorphisms have been studied in various cancers but not in primary brain tumors. The purpose of this case-control study was...
