Methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) is the rate-limiting enzyme in the methyl cycle, and it is encoded by the MTHFR gene. [5] Methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase catalyzes the conversion of 5,10-methylenetetrahydrofolate to 5-methyltetrahydrofolate, a cosubstrate for homocysteine remethylation to methionine.
MTHFR is the rate-limiting enzyme in the methyl cycle, which includes the conversion of homocysteine into methionine. Defects in variants of MTHFR can therefore lead to hyperhomocysteinemia. [9] There are two common variants of MTHFR deficiency. In the more significant of the two, the individual is homozygous for the 677T polymorphism.
C677T or rs1801133 is a genetic variation—a single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP)—in the MTHFR gene. Among Americans the frequency of T-homozygosity ranges from 1% or less among people of sub-Saharan African descent to 20% or more among Italians and Hispanics. [1] It has been related to schizophrenia [2] Alzheimer's disease [3] depression [4 ...
Co-expression of this mutation and the 677T polymorphism in methionine tetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) Methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase act to further the extent of DNA damage. [36] Hypomethylation due to impaired methylation up regulates atherosclerotic susceptible genes whilst down regulating atherosclerosis protective genes. [36]

A Delaware woman who was reported missing last week after she didn't show up to work for several days was found dismembered in a car over the weekend, police said.
Smartwatches are a hot-ticket gift over the holidays, but a new study might have you rethink how you strap the device to your wrist in the future.
