Abstract:
Hyperhomocysteinemia is one of the independent risk factors of cerebrovascular diseases. Methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) C677T gene mutation often results in the increase of plasma homocysteine levels, but the relationship between the genetic polymorphism of MTHFR and cerebrovascular diseases is not significant.
