• Interactions between the single nucleotide polymorphisms in the homocysteine pathway (MTHFR 677C>T, MTHFR 1298 A>C, and CBSins) and the efficacy of HMG-CoA reductase inhibitors. [Pharmacogenet Genomics. 2008 Aug;18(8):651- 6.]: Polymorphisms in genes in the homocysteine pathway (MTHFR 677 C>T and CBSins) appear to modify the efficacy of pravastatin in reducing risk of cardiovascular events.

• Quest Diagnostics: Methylenetetra hydrofolate Reductase: Code: 111971 Methylenetetra hydrofolate Reductase [36165X] Positive or negative for the following mutations: C677T, A1298C; 5 mL Whole Blood; set up MWF Morning; 5 Days; The Methylenetetra hydrofolate Reductase (MTHFR) enzyme plays a major role in homocysteine metabolism and contains several known polymorphisms, of which the most common is C677T. This mutation is reported to reduce MTHFR activity, resulting in hyperhomocyste inemia. This condition is a risk factor for cardiovascular disease, increased risk for arterial and venous thrombosis, and an increased risk for obstetrical complications, e.g., preeclampsia, abruptio placentae, fetal growth retardation, and stillbirth.
