MTHFR association with arteriosclerotic vascular disease?

Abstract:

:Complex diseases are far more common than diseases that follow simple Mendelian patterns of inheritance. Difficulties are experienced in the designing of experiments to dissect out the contribution of a single allele to a complex phenotype. We review the literature regarding a point mutation in methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase, a candidate gene for susceptibility to vascular diseases.
