Methylenetetrahydrofolate Reductase (C677T and A1298C) Polymorphisms, Hyperhomocysteinemia, and Ischemic Stroke in Tunisian Patients
Objective: The present study evaluated the role of the methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) C677T and A1298C gene polymorphisms and correlated these results with plasma homocysteine (Hcy) levels in Tunisian ischemic stroke (IS) patients.Methods: Overall, 84 patients with IS were included and compared with 100 healthy controls. The most common stroke risk factors were investigated. Fasting plasma Hcy levels were measured. Genotyping of the MTHFR C677T and A1298 polymorphisms was studied by polymerase chain reaction.Results: Aside from tobacco and alcohol use, the other studied factors were significant risk factors fo...
