Application

Application Comment Organism
medicine MTHFR mutant C677T homozygotes who are also carriers of cystathione beta-synthase 844ins68 polymorphism have homocysteine and folate concentrations similar to those of individuals with the MTHFR heterozygous C677C/C677T and wild-type genotypes. Homocysteine levels in MTHFR double mutant subjects carrying the cystathione beta-synthase 844ins68 allele are 24.1% lower than in non-carriers, and serum folate levels are 27.7% higher. These suggests that the cystathione beta-synthase 844ins68 allele normalizes homocysteine and folate levels in MTHFR C677T/C677T individuals Homo sapiens
