A number of studies have demonstrated that the common polymorphism 677C→T in the gene encoding 5, 10-methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) leads to a thermolabile variant with decreased enzyme activity and to mildly elevated plasma homocysteine. 677TT homozygosity was shown to be more frequent
