Application

Application Comment Organism
medicine mutation in gene for methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase is a cause of moderate homocysteinaemia, which is a risk factor for arteriosclerosis and thrombosis, patients with MTHFR deficiency have low methionine concentrations in plasma Homo sapiens

Protein Variants

Protein Variants Comment Organism
additional information C677T mutation in the coding region of the gene, which replaces a conserved alanine by valine residue in enzyme with reduced activity, increased risk for cardiovascular disease, homozygosity results in a thermolabile enzyme and homocysteinaemia Homo sapiens
