The common MTHFR deficiencies are usually asymptomatic, although the 677T variant can cause a mildly increased risk of some diseases. [citation needed]For individuals homozygous in the 677T variant, there is a mildly elevated risk of thromboembolism (odds ratio 1.2), [4] and stroke (odds ratio 1.26). [5]
Some mutations in this gene are associated with methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase deficiency. [6] [7] [8] Complex I deficiency with recessive spastic paraparesis has also been linked to MTHFR variants. In addition, the aberrant promoter hypermethylation of this gene is associated with male infertility and recurrent spontaneous abortion. [9] [10]
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 ...
The most common polymorphisms are known as MTHFR C677T and MTR A2756G. [23] [24] The homozigote mutation G;G also called C;C (it is equivalent) occurs in about 10% of the population of european ethnicity (white caucasians). [25] Elevations of homocysteine can also occur in the rare hereditary disease homocystinuria. [citation needed]
The gene therapy will compete with Australia-based CSL Behring’s Hemgenix, a similar treatment that won FDA approval for hemophilia B in 2022. That drug has a similar list price of $3.5 million ...

Higher levels of omega-6 fatty acids often found in ultraprocessed foods may interfere with the immune system’s fight against cancer cells, a new study says.
The following is a list of genetic disorders and if known, type of mutation and for the chromosome involved. Although the parlance "disease-causing gene" is common, it is the occurrence of an abnormality in the parents that causes the impairment to develop within the child.
