Methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase gene polymorphism and its association with coronary artery disease [PDF]
CONTEXT AND OBJECTIVE: Obstructive coronary artery disease (CAD) is characterized by the deposition of atherosclerotic plaque on the coronary artery wall. Its manifestations depend on interactions between environmental and genetic risk factors.

Association of interleukin 4 and MTHFR gene polymorphisms with distal symmetrical polyneuropathy in young diabetics [PDF]
Background It is believed that genetic factors play a role in the development and severity of neural injury among people with distal symmetrical polyneuropathy (DSP), because some genes are involved in specific biological pathways, acting in ...

Dietary reference values for riboflavin:(Scientific Opinion) [PDF]
Following a request from the European Commission, the EFSA Panel on Dietetic Products, Nutrition and Allergies (NDA) derives dietary reference values (DRVs) for riboflavin. The Panel considers that the inflection point in the urinary riboflavin excretion

Characterizing acetogenic metabolism using a genome-scale metabolic reconstruction of [PDF]
BACKGROUND: The metabolic capabilities of acetogens to ferment a wide range of sugars, to grow autotrophically on H(2)/CO(2), and more importantly on synthesis gas (H(2)/CO/CO(2)) make them very attractive candidates as production hosts for biofuels and ...

MTHFR C677T polymorphism analysis: A simple, effective restriction enzyme-based method improving previous protocols [PDF]
Background: 5,10-Methylentetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) C677T polymorphism is one of the most studied genetic variations in the human genome. Polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) is one of the most used ...

Methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase and psychiatric diseases
Methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) is a key enzyme for the critical process of one-carbon metabolism involving folate and homocysteine metabolisms. It is known that some polymorphism of MTHFR would result in reduction of MTHFR enzyme activity as

MTHFR gene A1298C (rs1801131) polymorphism and its correlations with cerebrospinal fluid biomarkers, cognitive level, and brain structure changes in patients with Alzheimer’s disease [PDF]
Objective To investigate the relationship of A1298C (rs1801131) polymorphism in the MTHFR gene encoding methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase with the cerebrospinal fluid β-amyloid 1-42 subtype (Aβ1-42) level, cognitive level, and brain structure changes ...
