Original Source: Polymorphism of MTHFR C677T, serum vitamin levels and cognition in subjects with hyperhomocysteinemia in China.
Relationships between hyperhomocysteinemia (HHE) and neurodegenerative diseases have been widely studied. However, the impact of serum total homocysteine (tHcy) levels on cognitive function has not been confirmed. C677T polymorphisms in the 5,10-methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) gene have impacts on tHcy level; it is suspected to influence cognitive function, but only few investigations have assessed its effects on non-dementia adults and the results have been controversial. Moreover, there is no...
