Associations of plasma homocysteine and the methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase C677T polymorphism with carotid intima media thickness among South Asian, Chinese and European Canadians
Abstract
BACKGROUND: Few studies have evaluated the associations of plasma homocysteine concentration, the methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) C677T genotype and B vitamin concentration with intima media thickness (IMT) in multiethnic populations.
METHODS: In the Study of Health Assessment and Risk in Ethnic groups (SHARE), we measured carotid IMT, fasting serum folate, serum B12, plasma pyridoxal-5'-phosphate (PLP) and plasma homocysteine and …
