MTHFR polymorphisms C677T and A1298C are associated with reduced MTHFR enzyme activity and hyperhomocysteinemia, which has been associated with osteoporosis. The A163G polymorphism in osteoprotegerin (OPG) has been studied in osteoporosis with controversial results. The objective of the present study was to investigate the association(s) among MTHFR C677T, MTHFR A1298C, and OPG A163G polymorphisms in Mexican patients with rheumatoid arthritis and osteoporosis. The femoral neck and lumbar spine bone mineral densities (BMDs) were measured in 71 RA patients, and genotyping for the three polymorphisms was performed via restriction fragment length polymorphism analysis. Patients with osteoporosis/osteopenia exhibited statistically significant differences in the genotype frequencies of MTHFR C677T as well as an association with femoral neck BMD; TT homozygotes had lower BMDs than patients with the CT genotype, and both of these groups had lower BMDs than patients with the CC genotype. The associations of the MTHFR C677T polymorphism with osteoporosis/osteopenia and femoral neck BMD suggest that these polymorphisms confer a risk of developing osteoporosis in patients with rheumatoid arthritis, a risk that may be reduced with folate and B complex supplementation. 相似文献

Increasing evidence on the association of MTHFR gene polymorphism and serum homocysteine levels with autoimmune diseases such as vitiligo has made the MTHFR gene a very interesting candidate to be evaluated in different ethnicities and populations. We aimed to evaluate the levels of serum homocysteine and vitamin B12 and their associations with MTHFR C677T polymorphism in the Iranian population. This case–control study included 104 patients with vitiligo and 100 age‐ and sex‐matched healthy control subjects. Serum vitamin B12 and homocysteine levels were measured by a chemiluminescence assay. Polymerase chain reaction‐restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR‐RFLP) analysis was used for genotyping the polymorphism. The mean serum homocysteine levels were significantly higher in cases than controls and associated with disease activity (p < .001). Furthermore, the homozygous MTHFR C677T variant genotype was associated with vitiligo development (adjusted OR: 3.52, 95% CI: 1.09–11.32, p = .02) and elevated homocysteine level (p < .001). There was no association between serum vitamin B12 levels and the MTHFR C677T genotype. The homozygous variant MTHFR C677T may be considered as a risk factor for both elevated homocysteine levels and the development of vitiligo in the Iranian population. Although these results are not conclusive, they could elucidate the contribution of genetic and immune‐mediated inflammatory factors to the pathogenesis of vitiligo. 相似文献

We have investigated the incidence of the C677T and A1298C methylene tetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) gene single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the South Indian Tamil Nadu population with a total number of 72 individuals. The MTHFR genotyping was performed using the polymerase chain reaction followed by restriction enzyme analysis. Homozygosity for the MTHFR A1298C SNP was detected in 15.3% (11/72) of the individuals tested, and 47.2% (34/72) were heterozygous for this SNP. Homozygosity for the C677T MTHFR SNP was detected in 1.38%(1/72), and the frequency of the C677T heterozygotes was 18.1%(13/72). When we analyzed the combined frequency of the two SNPs, the frequency of double heterozygosity was19.6%, and the frequency of double homozygosity was completely absent among the study group. The 'C' allele frequency for MTHFR A1298C was 0.389, and the 'T' allele frequency for C677T mutation was 0.104. Out of the 72 individuals included in the study, 52 were acute myocardial infarction (AMI) patients and 20 were healthy individuals with no documented history of heart disease. The results of this study indicate that the MTHFR A1298C SNP is more prevalent among the Tamilians when compared to the MTHFR C677T SNP, suggesting a possible role of MTHFR A1298C in the pathogenesis of heart diseases. 相似文献

Methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) is a vital enzyme catalyzing the nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADPH) linked reduction of 5,10-methylenetetrahydrofolate to 5-methylenetetrahydrofolate, which serves as cofactor in methylation of homocysteine to methionine. Three clinically important mutations of the MTHFR gene namely C677T, A1298C, and T1317C are reported to be associated with various pathological conditions. The present study deals with the screening of C677T mutation among two endogamous groups viz. Ahirs and Jats of Haryana (India). The mutation is reported to be significantly associated with thrombosis, hypertension, stroke and myocardial infraction, neural tube defects (NTDs), and recurrent pregnancy loss. The T allele among Jats is found to be more frequent (0.06) than Ahirs (0.03). Moreover, the Jats population shows a significant deviation from Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium with respect to C677T mutation. This could probably be due to some selection pressure operating in the population. 相似文献

Myocardial infarction (MI) is an important clinical problem because of its large contribution to mortality. The objective of this study is to assess whether two methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) polymorphisms, C677T and A1298C, were associated with MI among Tunisian patients. One hundred young patients (<47 years old) with MI were recruited and compared with 200 control subjects with no history of MI. The most common MI risk factors were investigated. Fasting plasma homocysteine levels were measured. Genotypes of the MTHFR C677T and A1298 polymorphisms were studied by polymerase chain reaction. The mean plasma homocysteine level in the study group was raised when compared with the control group. Homozygous MTHFR C677T mutation was observed in 2 (2 %) patients and in 17 (8.5 %) control subjects, whereas heterozygous MTHFR C677T mutation was detected in 82 (82 %) patients versus only 79 (39.5 %) in control subjects. The mean total homocysteine concentrations were significantly higher in individuals with the 677TT and CT genotypes. Our results indicate that C677T and A1298C MTHFR mutations and hyperhomocysteinemia contributed to the risk factors for MI. 相似文献

Different roles of MTHFR C677T and A1298C polymorphisms in colorectal adenoma and colorectal cancer: a meta-analysis 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
Association studies on the MTHFR polymorphisms (C677T and A1298C) in colorectal cancer (CRC) and colorectal adenoma have shown conflicting results. We performed
a meta-analysis to better assess the purported associations. Overall, the 677T allele (10,131 patients and 15,362 controls)
showed a small but significant protective effect against CRC compared to the 677C allele [P=0.0003, odds ratio (OR)=0.93; 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.89–0.98, P=0.22 (for heterogeneity)] for a worldwide population. Meta-analyses of other genetic contrasts suggested that the 677T allele
is more likely to affect CRC in a recessive genetic model worldwide (P<0.0001, OR=0.86; 95% CI 0.76–0.96, P=0.06) and in Asians (P=0.0005, OR=0.75; 95% CI 0.64–0.88, P=0.71). Similarly, we found a significantly decreased risk of CRC for 1298C polymorphism (4,764 CRC patients and 6,592 controls)
for a recessive genetic model worldwide (P=0.005, OR=0.81; 95% CI 0.70–0.94, P=0.40) and in Caucasians (P=0.04, OR=0.75 95% CI 0.57–0.99, P=0.35). No evidence of association of C677T (4,616 patients and 6,338 controls) and A1298C (1,272 patients and 1,684 controls)
with colorectal adenoma were found. The evidence accumulated suggests that MTHFR may represent a low-penetrance susceptible gene for CRC, and that the two polymorphisms might protect against colorectal
adenoma developing into cancer. A larger single study is required to further evaluate gene–gene and gene–environment interactions
for MTHFR polymorphisms and the cancer risk in a specific population.

Methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) is a key enzyme regulating the intracellular folate metabolism which plays an important role in carcinogenesis through DNA methylation. We aimed to evaluate the association between MTHFR A1298C and C677T polymorphisms and the risks of chronic myeloid leukemia (CML). Eighty-five patients with CML and a control group containing 100 healthy, age and sex matched individuals were examined for MTHFR C677T and A1298C polymorphisms using polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment-length (PCR-RFLP) method. The frequency of 677TT genotype in patients with CML was significantly higher compared to controls (OR = 2.513, 95% CI: 0.722-4.086, P = 0.025). No such association was shown for heterozygous 677CT (OR = 1.010, 95% CI: 0.460-2.218, P = 0.981). Moreover, for A1298C genotype, a statistically significant higher frequency of 1298CC was also detected in CML patients compared to control group (OR = 1.1816, 95% CI: 0.952-3.573, P = 0.036), 0.036). No such statistical significance was demonstrable for heterozygote 1298AC (OR = 1.046, 95% CI: 0.740-1.759, P = 0.092). In addition, patients with joint 677CT/1298AC or 677TT/1298CC genotypes showed an association with increased risk of CML (OR = 1.849, 95% CI: 0.935-2.540, P = 0.024; OR = 1.915, 95% CI: 1.202-3.845, P = 0.020 respectively). .A statistically significant increased risk of resistant to therapy was observed with 677CT and 1298AC genotypes (P = 0.001, P = 0.002 respectively). We conclude that both MTHFR 677TT and 1298CC polymorphisms have been associated with risk of CML and both 677CT and 1298AC genotypes are associated with higher risk of resistant to therapy. 相似文献

Methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) C677T polymorphism is involved in folate and homocysteine metabolism, and has been associated with geriatric disorders, including dementia and late-life depression. The present work aimed to investigate the effect of MTHFR C677T polymorphism on the presence of depression and loneliness in cognitively normal male subjects. A total of 323 cognitively normal male subjects were included in this study (mean age=80.6; SD=5.3). Depression was assessed by the Geriatric Depression Scale-Short Form (GDS-SF) and loneliness by UCLA loneliness scales. Analysis of variance (ANOVA) was used to test the between MTHFR genotype difference in depression and loneliness. Multiple regression was used to test the effect of MTHFR polymorphism on the loneliness, controlling for age, education, cognitive function, and depression. ANOVA showed a significant between-genotype difference in loneliness scores (P=0.015), and post hoc comparisons showed that subjects with C/C genotype had significantly higher loneliness ratings, compared to those with C/T or T/T genotype. Regression analysis indicated that the effect of MTHFR polymorphism on loneliness was independent of age, education, cognitive function, and depression. Our findings suggest that MTHFR C677T polymorphism may be linked more to loneliness than depression in the cognitively normal elderly males, and may be implicated in the pathophysiology of late-life depression in relation to MTHFR genes. 相似文献

Epigenetic mechanisms such as methylation of DNA, could lead to abnormal neurodevelopment and may be important in the etiology of schizophrenia. Maternal dietary folate intake may play a role in determining methylation levels. The MTHFR gene C677T polymorphism influences folate metabolism and intracellular availability of folate metabolites for methylation. We carried out a meta-analysis of MTHFR C677T genotype and schizophrenia risk, and found that TT homozygotes had a significantly increased risk, OR 1.48 (1.18-1.86). This supports the hypothesis that folate status is a determinant of schizophrenia risk. Larger studies of this issue are required, together with studies of maternal genotype which could identify whether maternal folate status during pregnancy is important. 相似文献

BACKGROUND Polymorphisms C677T and A1298C of the MTHFR gene have been implicated in fetal viability. In this study, we determined the allele and genotype frequencies of these polymorphisms in different populations, including spontaneous abortion (SA) fetal tissues, with the objective of evaluating their impact on fetal viability. METHODS 342 samples of fetal tissues, selected from SA occurring during the 1980s, 230 samples from subjects born in the 1980s and a third set of samples from 204 subjects born in the 1950s, were genotyped by using TaqMan probes. RESULTS The wild CC genotype of the C677T polymorphism showed a strong protective effect against abortion (0.03 in SA versus 0.47 in 1950s and 0.43 in 1980s) (P < 0.0001). Genotypes of three mutations in the combinations of polymorphisms for C677T and A1298C showed a very low frequency in the living population; however, the three mutations genotypes were over expressed in the SA group (0.02 in 1950s; 0.03 in 1980s and 0.17 in SA) (P < 0.0001). Samples with four mutations (n = 2) were found only in the SA group. CONCLUSIONS There is no linkage disequilibrium between C667T and A1298C polymorphisms. Fetal viability is directly related to the CC genotype as a protector while the three and four mutation MTHFR genotypes appear to be a determinant on fetal non-viability and SA. 相似文献

The aim of the study was to evaluate possible association of MTHFR C677T gene polymorphism (NM_005957) with psoriasis. Genotypes
of MTHFR C677T gene polymorphism were determined in a sample of 654 Caucasian (Czech) subjects. Case group (n = 410) included patients with psoriasis (plaque psoriasis diagnosed in 285 patients, other subtypes of psoriasis were observed
in 125 patients). Control group (n = 244) consisted of healthy subjects without individual history of psoriasis, with similar age and gender characteristics.
The MTHFR C677T polymorphism genotypes were determined by a polymerase chain reaction and a subsequent restriction analysis
with HinfI. The genotypes of C(677)T methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) gene polymorphism were determined in a sample of 654
Caucasian (Czech) subjects. We proved a significant difference in genotype distribution (P
g = 0.03) and allelic frequency (P
a = 0.02) between psoriatic and control subjects (Table 3). The CC (the thermostabile) genotype was significantly more frequent
in psoriatic patients compared to controls [OR = 1.55, 95% confidential interval (CI) = 1.12–2.15, P = 0.004814, P
corr = 0.01]. But, a significant increase of T allele in MTHFR gene was observed in patients with positive family history of diabetes
(P
a = 0.02) and in those with a frequent tonsillitis/tonsillectomy (P
a = 0.04). No difference was observed between patients with and without positive family history of psoriasis (P
a = 0.251). But, when psoriatic patients were described for FHDM, FH-Ps, and PH-T simultaneously, The highest incidence of
CT + TT genotypes was calculated for psoriasis patients with positive history of psoriasis and diabetes mellitus together
with personal history of repeated tonsillitis/tonsillectomy compared to patients without all these three phenotypes (odds
ratio = 3.17, 95% CI 1.33–7.56, P
corr = 0.04). In conclusion, MTHFR C677T polymorphism is marginally associated with psoriasis. The T allele (thermolabile) appears
to be more frequent in psoriasis patients with positive history of psoriasis and diabetes mellitus together with personal
history of repeated tonsillitis/tonsillectomy. This could reflect an inborn predisposition in complex regulation in one-carbon
moieties transport in psoriatic patients and therefore, MTHFR genotype can be a part of genetic background of psoriasis. 相似文献

The methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) gene has been recently considered as a candidate gene for Alzheimer's disease (AD). MTHFR is a key enzyme in the metabolism of homocysteine and elevated levels of that amino acid have been associated to Vascular Dementia and AD. A T-->C transition at codon 677 produces a thermolabile type of the enzyme. However, contrasting results on the distribution of the MTHFR C677T common polymorphism in AD have been published. We analyzed the distribution of the MTHFR and apolipoprotein E (APOE) polymorphisms in Italian patients with sporadic AD. The distribution of the C677T polymorphism did not differ in AD and controls. Our data suggest that the MTHFR polymorphism does not contribute to genetic susceptibility in Italian sporadic AD and does not mitigate the effect of ApoE epsilon4 allele on AD risk. 相似文献

Single-nucleotide polymorphisms in the genes that code for coagulation factors V (factor V Leiden) and II (prothrombin, G20210A), as well as the methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR, C677T) gene, have been implicated in the majority of cases of hereditary thrombophilia. We have developed a multiplex PCR-RFLP assay based on MnlI endonuclease digestion for the simultaneous detection of mutations in the FV, FII, and MTHFR genes. Digested amplification products were analyzed by gel electrophoresis in a single gel lane and visualized by ethidium bromide. This approach is a rapid and convenient method, hence economic, that alternate to others described for the detection of FVL, G20210A and C677T mutations. 相似文献

Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a heterogeneous conditionwith unknown etiology and is considered to be the most commonendocrine disorder in women of reproductive age. Two meta-analysesare presented here concerning the association of PlasminogenActivator Inhibitor 1 (PAI-1) 4G/5G polymorphism and the methylene-tetrahydrofolatereductase (MTHFR) C677T polymorphism with the risk of developingPCOS. Seven studies were included concerning PAI-1 (1538 cases,710 controls) and six studies concerning MTHFR C677T (223 cases,392 controls). Overall, a significant association was foundfor PAI-1, with the odds ratio (OR) for 4G carriers versus 5Ghomozygotes being equal to 1.600 (95% CI 1.052, 2.434) withstrong evidence for dominant inheritance. There was howevera large between-studies variability (I2 = 67.3%). No evidencewas found for association of MTHFR C677T polymorphism with PCOS(OR for the TT+CT versus CC comparison equal to 0.940 with 95%CI 0.561, 1.575). No evidence of publication bias was foundin these meta-analyses. PAI-1 4G/5G polymorphism seems to beassociated with the risk of developing PCOS. Further studiesare needed in order to investigate the etiologic mechanism behindthis association, as well as the interrelations with other componentsof the metabolic syndrome (hypertension, diabetes, etc.). 相似文献

Methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) is involved in the one‐carbon cycle, which is of importance for nucleotide synthesis and methylation of DNA, membranes, proteins and lipids. The MTHFR gene includes two common polymorphisms (rs1801133 or C677T; rs1801131 or A1298C) which both alter enzyme activity. The T‐allele of the C677T polymorphism has recently been associated with earlier age at onset of schizophrenia. In the present study we examined the association between the MTHFR C677T and A1298C polymorphisms and age at onset of schizophrenia in twelve samples consisting of 3,213 unrelated schizophrenia patients, including the original Scandinavian sample. There was no consistent relationship between MTHFR C677T, A1298C or combined 677T/1298C carriers and age of onset in schizophrenia when the results of each study were combined using meta‐analysis. The present results suggest that the investigated MTHFR polymorphisms do not influence age of onset in schizophrenia. © 2011 Wiley‐Liss, Inc. 相似文献
