摘要
Gene polymorphisms involved in homocysteine-methionine pathway result in hyperhomocysteinemia, a predisposing condition to several diseases. Methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) is a key enzyme in folate and homocysteine metabolism. The two known functional polymorphisms of MTHFR gene, 677C > T and 1298A > C have been implicated in a variety of multifactorial diseases: cardio-cerebrovascular and neurodegenerative disorders, autoimmune diseases, birth defects, diabetes, neuropsychiatric disorders, cancer and renal disease. C667T, and to a lesser extent A1298C polymorphisms, have been also reported to have a pharmacogenetic role in predicting drug toxicity in cancer and rheumatoid arthritis treatment. We review here the principal effects of the MTHFR gene variations in different clinical conditions.
