OBJECTIVES: We sought to investigate the association between the methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) gene C677T mutation and the risk of coronary artery disease (CAD), myocardial infarction (MI) and venous thrombosis (VT) in a Chinese population in Taiwan. METHODS: The subjects included 218 CAD patients, 107 VT patients, and their age- and sex-matched controls. DNA was extracted from the blood and genotypes were determined by polymerase chain reaction, restriction mapping with HinfI and gel electrophoresis. RESULTS: The distribution of MTHFR genotypes was similar in the CAD cases and controls; the genotype TT was present in 6.0% of CAD patients, as compared to 6.9% of CAD control subjects (p = 0.165; odds ratio = 0. 86; 95% confidence interval = 0.40-1.85). The frequency of the T allele was also similar in CAD cases and controls (25.5% vs. 24.8%; p = 0.788). There was no significant association between TT homozygosity and the risk of MI. The genotype distributions and the frequency of the T allele were also similar in VT cases and controls. CONCLUSIONS: Our data suggest that there is no association between the C677T mutation of the human MTHFR gene and the risk of CAD or VT among Chinese in Taiwan. 相似文献

The implications of the methylene tetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) gene and the level of homocysteine in the pathogenesis of coronary artery disease (CAD) have been extensively studied in various ethnic groups. Our aim was to discover the association of MTHFR (C677T) polymorphism and homocysteine level with CAD in north Indian subjects. The study group consisted of 329 angiographically proven CAD patients, and 331 age and sex matched healthy individuals as controls. MTHFR (C677T) gene polymorphism was detected based on the polymerase chain reaction and restriction digestion with HinfI. Total homocysteine plasma concentration was measured using immunoassay. T allele frequency was found to be significantly higher in patients than in the control group. We found significantly elevated levels of mean homocysteine in the patient group when compared to the control group (p = 0.00). Traditional risk factors such as diabetes, hypertension, smoking habits, a positive family history and lipid profiles (triglyceride, total cholesterol, HDL-cholesterol, LDL-cholesterol, VLDL-cholesterol), were found significantly associated through univariate analysis. Furthermore, multivariable logistics regression analysis revealed that CAD is significantly and variably associated with diabetes, hypertension, smoking, triglycerides and HDL-cholesterol. Our findings showed that MTHFR C677T polymorphism and homocysteine levels were associated with coronary artery disease in the selected population. 相似文献

Elevated levels of homocysteine is a risk factor for coronary artery disease. The C677T transition in methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) is associated with increased homocysteine levels in the general population. We analysed the association between the MTHFR C677T polymorphism and serum homocysteine concentrations in patients with coronary artery disease (CAD). Allele frequencies for the 'C' (wild-type) and 'T' alleles were 0.71 and 0.29 in CAD patients and 0.70 and 0.30 in controls, respectively. There was no difference in the distribution of MTHFR genotypes between patients with CAD and control subjects (p > 0.05). In the patient group, homocysteine levels were higher than controls but not significantly (13.99 +/- 7.44 vs. 11.77 +/- 5.18 micromol l(-1); p > 0.05). Serum homocysteine concentration was significantly higher in the TT genotype with respect to CC and CT genotypes in both the control group (p < 0.01) and patient group (p < 0.01). Systolic and diastolic blood pressures in subjects with different MTHFR genotypes did not differ significantly. In conclusion, MTHFR C677T mutation was significantly related to hyperhomocysteinemia. In spite of the clear effect of the MTHFR polymorphism on elevated homocysteine levels, we did not observe any associations among the MTHFR genotypes with a the risk of CAD in the Turkish population. 相似文献

It has been shown that the polymorphisms of Methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) gene are associated with susceptibility to several disorders including hyperhomocysteinemia, vascular disease, birth defect, and certain cancers, and exhibit great diversities among various populations. The aim of this study was to investigate the prevalence of two common non-synonymous single nucleotide polymorphisms (i.e., C677T and A1298C) at MTHFR gene in 13 Chinese populations. A total of 1015 healthy individuals from 13 populations distributed widely from north to south in China were studied. DNA samples were isolated from peripheral blood samples and genotyped using polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism. For C677T polymorphism, the frequency in Chinese of CC homozygous was 42.4%; CT heterozygous was 49.8%; and TT homozygous was 7.9%. For A1298C, AA homozygous was 39.2%; AC heterozygous was 38.6%; and CC homozygous was 22.2%. The allelic frequency of 677T and 1298C was 32.8 and 41.5%, respectively, and each allele frequency had significant variance in 13 Chinese populations. The frequency of the 677T allele among southern populations was 30.7% compared to 38.0% among northeastern and 30.5% among northwestern populations. The difference was statistically significant (p < 0.01). The frequency of 1298C mutation in southerns was 58.9% whereas in northeasterns it was 24.0% and 37.6% in northwesterns. This was also statistically significant (p < 0.01). The MTHFR C677T and A1298C sites were in linkage disequilibrium in the Chinese population revealed by our data. 相似文献

This study was designed to investigate, in the Turkish population, the association of methylene tetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) C677T polymorphism and left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) in patients with type II diabetes mellitus. Our study included 249 patients with type II diabetes mellitus (102 men, 147 women) and 214 healthy volunteers as controls (91 men, 123 women). MTHFR C677T genotypes were determined by polymerase chain reaction, restriction fragment length polymorphism techniques. No differences were observed in the distribution of MTHFR genotypes or allele frequencies in the cases versus the controls. The frequency of the MTHFR-mutated allele (T) was 31.7% in the type II diabetes mellitus versus 31.1% of the controls. The homozygous mutation (T/T) in the MTHFR gene was identified in 12% of the type II diabetes mellitus versus 9.3% of the controls. Patients with the TT genotype showed a higher prevalence of LVH when compared to patients with the CC and CT genotypes (p = 0.01). The MTHFR gene C677T mutation may be a possible risk factor for the development of LVH in the type II diabetic patients. 相似文献

5, 10-Methylenetetrahydrofolate Reductase (MTHFR) is one of the key enzymes in the metabolism of homocysteine, where it catalyses its remethylation. The autosomal recessive bp 677 C --> T mutation in the MTHFR gene leads to the substitution of valine for alanine. Individuals who are homozygous for this C677T mutation exhibit a decreased specific activity and increased thermolability of this enzyme. This leads to increased plasma levels of homocysteine, which is a known risk factor for atherosclerosis and various manifestations of the atherosclerotic disease. The aim of this study was to find out the distribution and frequency of this mutation in the general Croatian population. A group of 228 volunteers (175 males and 53 females) has been analyzed for the MTHFR polymorphism, which revealed the following distribution: 105 (46.05%) individuals were without mutation (C/C), 102 (44.74%) were heterozygous (C/T) and 21 (9.21%) homozygous (T/T). These findings are within the results of studies on other European populations. 相似文献

The C677T mutation of the methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) gene, associated with the thermolabile form of the enzyme, has reportedly been found to be increased in neural-tube defects (NTD), though this association is still unclear. A group of 107 mestizo parents of NTD children and five control populations: 101 mestizo (M), 50 Huichol (H), 38 Tarahumara (T), 21 Purepecha (P) and 20 Caucasian (C) individuals were typed for the MTHFR C677T variant by the PCR/RFLP (HinfI) method. Genotype frequencies were in agreement with the Hardy-Weinberg expectations in all six populations. Allele frequency (%) of the C677T variant was 45 in NTD, 44 in M, 56 in H, 36 in T, 57 in P, 35 in C. Pairwise inter-population comparisons of allele frequency disclosed a very similar distribution between NTD and M groups (exact test, P=0.92). Among controls, differences between M and individual native groups were NS (0.06

Angiotensin I-converting enzyme (ACE), which plays an important role in blood pressure regulation, and methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) involved in homocysteine metabolism belong to a large group of polypeptides which may be potential risk factors for atherosclerosis and coronary artery disease (CAD). To assess whether polymorphisms of the genes encoding these peptides are associated with CAD in Silesian we conducted a study among 68 individuals suffering from CAD (including 52 cases after myocardial infarction), 51 subjects with positive family history of CAD and 111 controls. We analysed the distribution of genotypes and allele frequencies of the insertion/deletion (I/D) polymorphism in the ACE gene using PCR amplification, and the C677-->T polymorphism in the MTHFR gene using PCR-RFLP analysis. We found that D allele frequency was significantly higher in CAD patients (61%) than in controls (43%) (P = 0.001, OR = 2.06). The D allele carriers (DD + ID genotypes) were more frequent in the CAD patients (85%) compared to control group (65%) (P = 0.003, OR = 3.14), whereas the familial CAD risk group shows the highest frequency of the ID genotype (57% vs 43% in controls). In contrast, the MTHFR polymorphism does not seem to be associated with the disease. Our data indicate that in Silesian CAD patients the disease is strongly associated with carrier-state of the ACE D allele, but not with the C677-->T transition in the MTHFR gene. 相似文献

Hyperhomocysteinemia is an independent risk factor for arteriosclerotic vascular disease. It can result from deficiencies of co-factors required for homocysteine metabolism and/or from genetic disorders of its metabolism. The association between the C677T mutation in the methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) gene and vascular disease is controversial, and may be affected by ethnic origin. A unique feature of the Israeli population is its ethnic diversity. The aim of this study was to study the frequency of the C677T MTHFR mutation in healthy Israeli ethnic groups. The frequency of the mutation was determined in 897 young healthy Jewish and Muslim Arab Israelis of eight different ethnic groups. Marked ethnic differences in the frequency of mutant homozygotes were found, ranging from 2% in Yemenite Jews, 4% in Sephardic Jews, 9% in Oriental Jews, 10% in Muslim Arabs, 16% in North African Jews, and 19% in Ashkenazi Jews. The frequency of mutant homozygotes was significantly higher in Ashkenazi Jews compared to Yemenites Oriental Jews, Sephardic Jews, and Muslim Arabs (chi2 = 12.35p < 0.001, chi2 = 8.17p = 0.004, chi2 = 6.04p = 0.01, chi2 = 6.54 p = 0.01, respectively). Our findings demonstrate the need for matching ethnic background in patients and controls when studying the association between the C677T MTHFR mutation and any disease. 相似文献

Recently, we showed that homozygosity for the common 677(C-->T) mutation in the methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) gene, causing thermolability of the enzyme, is a risk factor for neural-tube defects (NTDs). We now report on another mutation in the same gene, the 1298(A-->C) mutation, which changes a glutamate into an alanine residue. This mutation destroys an MboII recognition site and has an allele frequency of .33. This 1298(A-->C) mutation results in decreased MTHFR activity (one-way analysis of variance [ANOVA] P < .0001), which is more pronounced in the homozygous than heterozygous state. Neither the homozygous nor the heterozygous state is associated with higher plasma homocysteine (Hcy) or a lower plasma folate concentration-phenomena that are evident with homozygosity for the 677(C-->T) mutation. However, there appears to be an interaction between these two common mutations. When compared with heterozygosity for either the 677(C-->T) or 1298(A-->C) mutations, the combined heterozygosity for the 1298(A-->C) and 677(C-->T) mutations was associated with reduced MTHFR specific activity (ANOVA P < .0001), higher Hcy, and decreased plasma folate levels (ANOVA P <.03). Thus, combined heterozygosity for both MTHFR mutations results in similar features as observed in homozygotes for the 677(C-->T) mutation. This combined heterozygosity was observed in 28% (n =86) of the NTD patients compared with 20% (n =403) among controls, resulting in an odds ratio of 2.04 (95% confidence interval: .9-4.7). These data suggest that the combined heterozygosity for the two MTHFR common mutations accounts for a proportion of folate-related NTDs, which is not explained by homozygosity for the 677(C-->T) mutation, and can be an additional genetic risk factor for NTDs. 相似文献

Association of the methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase gene (MTHFR) C677T missense mutation (substitution of cytosine by thymine at position 677) with coronary artery disease (CAD), as well as with blood levels of various lipoprotein fractions, systolic pressure (SP), diastolic arterial blood pressures (DP), and body mass index (BMI) in patients with angiographically verified CAD and in a control group. The affected and control subjects did not differ substantially with respect to genotypic and allelic frequencies. The MTHFR gene polymorphism was not associated with variation in either total cholesterol (TC), very-low-density-lipoprotein cholesterol (VLDLC), low-density-lipoprotein cholesterol (LDLC), high-density-lipoprotein cholesterol (HDLC), or triglyceride (TG) levels. SP and DP in subjects with different MTHFR genotypes did not differ significantly. BMI tended to correlate with the C677T polymorphism of the MTHFR gene (0.05 < P < 0.1). C677T mutation frequencies in western Siberia were determined for the first time; they are about the same as in most European populations. 相似文献

Methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) gene mutations have been implicated as risk factors for neural tube defects (NTDs). The best-characterized MTHFR genetic mutation 677C→T is associated with a 2-4 fold increased risk of NTD if patient is homozygous for this mutation. This risk factor is modulated by folate levels in the body. A second mutation in the MTHFR gene is an A→C transition at position 1298. The 1298A→C mutation is also a risk factor for NTD, but with a smaller relative risk than 677C→T mutation. Under conditions of low folate intake or high folate requirements, such as pregnancy, this mutation could become of clinical importance. We present a case report with MTHFR genetic mutation, who presented with recurrent familial pregnancy losses due to anencephaly/NTDs. 相似文献

We have studied the distribution of genotypes of the MTHFR gene among the Siberian female population and compared it with the frequency of this mutation in different populations. The TT genotype and the T allele frequency in 299 women from Novosibirsk (West Siberia) was determined. The presence of the C677T allele was determined by PCR and Hinf I digestion. The homozygous genotype TT was detected in 8.69% of the population sample. The frequency of the C677T mutant allele was found to be 0.290. 相似文献

The goals of our present study were to measure plasma homocysteine levels and determine their association with methylenetetrahydrofolate
reductase (MTHFR) gene polymorphisms (C677T and A1298C) in essential hypertensive subjects. Plasma total homocysteine and
folic acid levels were measured in essential hypertensive patients (n = 153) before and after oral supplementation with either 5 mg folic acid tablet/day or 5 mg placebo/day for 4 weeks and compared
with age and sex matched normotensive controls (n = 133). MTHFR gene polymorphisms (C677T and A1298C) were studied by restriction fragment length polymorphism and correlated
with plasma homocysteine levels. Homocysteine levels were significantly higher in hypertensive patients as compared to controls
and showed a negative correlation with plasma folate levels. Folic acid supplementation (5 mg/day) for 4 weeks resulted in
a significant decrease in plasma homocysteine concentrations in these patients. Patients carrying MTHFR 677T allele (OR = 1.90;
95%CI: 1.14–3.19) or MTHFR 1298C (OR = 2.6, 95%CI: 1.55–4.40) allele were at increased risk of hypertension. The frequency
of co-occurrence of MTHFR 677 CT/1298 CC genotypes was significantly higher in the patients compared to controls (P < 0.05) and was associated with increased risk of hypertension (OR = 3.54, 95%CI: 0.37–4.30). Subjects with MTHFR 1298 CC
genotype had significantly higher homocysteine levels compared to those with MTHFR 1298 AA genotype (P < 0.05). Our results indicate that MTHFR 677T and 1298C alleles and co-occurrence of MTHFR 677 CT/MTHFR 1298 CC genotypes
are associated with increased risk of hypertension and MTHFR 1298 CC genotype is associated with higher homocysteine levels
in our subjects. 相似文献

Mild hyperhomocysteinemia is an established risk factor for cardiovascular disease. Genetic aberrations in the cystathionine beta-synthase (CBS) and methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) genes may account for reduced enzyme activities and elevated plasma homocysteine levels. In 15 unrelated Dutch patients with homozygous CBS deficiency, we observed the 833T-->C (I278T) mutation in 50% of the alleles. Very recently, we identified a common mutation (677C-->T; A-->V) in the MTHFR gene, which, in homozygous state, is responsible for the thermolabile phenotype and which is associated with decreased specific MTHRF activity and elevated homocysteine levels. We screened 60 cardiovascular patients and 111 controls for these two mutations, to determine whether these mutations are risk factors for premature cardiovascular disease. Heterozygosity for the 833T-->C mutation in the CBS gene was observed in one individual of the control group but was absent in patients with premature cardiovascular disease. Homozygosity for the 677C-->T mutation in the MTHFR gene was found in (15%) of 60 cardiovascular patients and in only 6 (approximately 5%) of 111 control individuals (odds ratio 3.1 [95% confidence interval 1.0-9.2]). Because of both the high prevalence of the 833T-->C mutation among homozygotes for CBS deficiency and its absence in 60 cardiovascular patients, we may conclude that heterozygosity for CBS deficiency does not appear to be involved in premature cardiovascular disease. However, a frequent homozygous mutation in the MTHFR gene is associated with a threefold increase in risk for premature cardiovascular disease. 相似文献

The aim of this study was to examine the association of homozygosity for the methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) C677T mutation and vitamin B12 deficiency in 360 asymptomatic individuals and to investigate forearm endothelial function in C677T homozygotes. MTHFR C677T mutation and levels of vitamin B12, folic acid, and homocysteine were measured in study participants. Frequency of homozygosity for the C677T mutation was 67/360 (18.6%). Homocysteine levels were elevated in homozygous compared with heterozygous subjects or those without the mutation (20.6 +/- 18.8 vs. 9.4 +/- 3.2 mumol/l; P < 0.0001). The number of subjects with vitamin B12 deficiency (<150 pmol/l) was significantly higher among the homozygote than the heterozygote subjects or subjects without mutation [20/67 (29.8%) vs. 27/293 (9.2%); P < 0.0001]. Homozygote subjects had 4.2 times higher probability of having B12 deficiency (95% confidence interval = 2.1-8.3). Forearm endothelial function was assessed in 33 homozygote and 12 control subjects. Abnormal endothelial function was observed in homozygous subjects and was worse in homozygote subjects with vitamin B12 deficiency. Endothelial function was normalized after B12 and folic acid treatment. We found that homozygosity for the C677T mutation is strongly associated with B12 deficiency. Coexistence of homozygosity for the C677T mutation and B12 deficiency is associated with endothelial dysfunction and can be corrected with vitamin B12 and folic acid treatment. 相似文献

This study was designed to investigate, in the Turkish population, an association of methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) C677T polymorphism and the risk of gastric and colorectal cancer. Our study was carried out in 35 patients with gastric cancer (20 men, 15 women) and 144 controls (75 men, 69 women) and 52 colorectal cancer (31 men, 21 women). MTHFR C677T genotypes were determined by polymerase chain reaction, restriction fragment length polymorphism techniques. No differences were observed in the distribution of MTHFR genotypes or allele frequencies in cases versus controls. The homozygous mutation (T/T) in the MTHFR gene was identified in 14.3% of gastric cancer versus 10.4% of controls. MTHFR C677T frequencies of the CC, CT and TT genotypes among colorectal cancer patients were 34.6%, 51.9% and 13.5%, respectively. MTHFR C677T polymorphism may not be important in an individual's susceptibility to gastric and colorectal cancer in Turkey and may not be a useful marker for identifying patients at high risk of developing gastric and colorectal cancer. 相似文献

Elevated homocysteine is a risk factor for many complex disorders. The role of methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR)
gene in methylation of homocysteine makes it one of the most important candidate genes for these disorders. Considering the
heterogeneity in its distribution in world populations, we screened MTHFR C677T and A1298C single nucleotide polymorphisms
in a total of 23 Indian caste, tribal and religious population groups from five geographical regions of India and belonging
to four major linguistic groups. The frequencies of MTHFR 677T and 1298C alleles were found to be 10.08 and 20.66%, respectively.
MTHFR homozygous genotype 677TT was absent in eight population groups and homozygous 1298CC was absent in two population groups.
677T allele was found to be highest among north Indian populations with Indo-European tongue and 1298C was high among Dravidian-speaking
tribes of east India and south India. The less common mutant haplotype 677T-1298C was observed among seven population groups
and overall the frequency of this haplotype was 0.008, which is similar to that of African populations. cis configuration of 677T and 1298C was 0.94%. However, we could not find any individual with four mutant alleles which supports
the earlier observation that presence of more than two mutant alleles may decrease the viability of foetus and possibly be
a selective disadvantage in the population. 相似文献
