Application

Application Comment Organism
medicine no significant differences in plasma homocysteine levels and MTHFR genotypes are found in patients with systemic sclerosis compared to controls or in systemic sclerosis patients with limited cutaneous compared to diffuse disease. Seventy-one percent of patients with macrovascular disorders have MTHFR polymorphism C677T. In addition, 45% of patients with hyperhomocysteinemia have pulmonary hypertension. The presence of MTHFR C677T mutation influences the incidence of macrovascular abnormalities in SSc patients Homo sapiens
