1 OBJECTIVE: To investigate the distribution of the A2756G polymorphism of the methionine synthase reductase (MTR) gene in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) treated with methotrexate (MTX) compared with a healthy control group; and to examine the relationships among the A2756G polymorphism, plasma total homocysteine (tHcy), serum folate and vitamin B12 levels, disease activity, and MTX toxicity in patients with RA. thcy 5-methyltetrahydrofolate-homocysteine methyltransferase reductase Homo sapiens
