1 The influence of antiepileptic drugs (AEDs) and/or common polymorphisms (677C --> T, 1298A --> C) of the methylene-tetrahydrofolate-reductase (MTHFR) gene on the recurrence time of hyper-total-homocysteinemia (tHcy > 13 micromol/L) was investigated in 59 hyper-homocysteinemic patients (34M/25F, 20-49 years). thcy methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase Homo sapiens
2 Four MTHFR polymorphism groups were identified with the following tHcy (micromol/L) and folate (nmol/L) levels (mean +/- SD): (a) MTHFR677TT/1298AA, 24 patients, 36.0 +/- 4.8, 4.1 +/- 0.7; (b) MTHFR677CT/1298AC 27.1 +/- 2.7, 5.3 +/- 1.0 (n = 15); (c) MTHFR677CT/1298AA 16.6 +/- 3.6, 6.8 +/- 1.0 (n = 11), all taking enzyme-inducing AEDs; and (d) MTHFR677TT/1298AA 24.5 +/- 3.2, 5.6 +/- 1.1 (n = 9), treated with new AEDs. thcy methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase Homo sapiens
