Objective: To explore the relationship between nonsyndromic cleft lip with or without cleft palate (NSCL/P) and genetic polymorphism of MTHFR C677T and A1298C in Chinese population.
Methods: Case-control study design was employed. MTHFR genotypes were determined by polymerase chain reaction and restriction fragment length polymorphism techniques (PCR-RFLP).
Results: As to MTHFR C677T, 48 heterozygous parents with an affected child were analyzed through case-parental control study using TDT (chi2 = 0. 02, P > 0.05). The genotype frequency and allele frequency of 76 NSCL/P cases and 60 controls were analyzed through case-control study (chi2 = 9.91, P < 0.05). As to MTHFR A1298C, 27 heterozygous parents with an affected child were analyzed through case-parental control study using TDT (chi2 = 4.00, P < 0.05). The genotype frequency and allele frequency of 76 NSCL/P cases and 60 controls were analyzed through case-control study (chi2 = 4.42, P < 0.05).
Conclusions: The genetic polymorphism of MTHFR C677T is associated with the development of NSCL/P, and the genetic polymorphism of MTHFR A1298C is a risk factor for NSCL/P in the Chinese population.

Methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) and methionine synthase reductase (MTRR) polymorphisms are known risk factors for vascular diseases due to the impact on folate metabolism dysfunction and homocysteine (Hcy) accumulation. This study aimed to investigate the association between folate metabolism risk and hemorrhagic risk in moyamoya disease (MMD). In this prospective study, we enrolled 350 MMD patients with complete genotype data for MTHFR and MTRR.

The ( C677T gene polymorphism is associated with neurological disorders and schizophrenia. Patients diagnosed with schizophrenia and schizoaffective disorder and controls ( 134) had data collected for risk factors, molecular and neuro-sensory variables, symptoms, and functional outcomes. Promising gene variant-related predictive biomarkers were identified for diagnosis by Receiver Operating Characteristics and for illness duration by linear regression.

: Preterm birth (PTB) is a complex condition with various contributing factors, including genetic and epigenetic influences such as DNA methylation. Methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) plays a critical role in DNA methylation and the remethylation of homocysteine. This study aimed to investigate the association between maternal MTHFR C677T and A1298C polymorphisms, LINE-1 DNA methylation levels, and the risk of idiopathic spontaneous preterm birth (SPTB) in Caucasian women from Croatia and Slovenia.

Accurate, rapid, and multiplex SNP analysis holds significant clinical value. However, the inevitable nucleic acid extraction, involving centrifugation, heating, and magnetic separation, is often time-consuming. In this study, direct blood PCR was combined with dual-labelled probe-mediated melting curves to identify SNPs corresponding to MTHFR (C677T, rs#1801133 and A1298C, rs#1801131) and MTRR (A66G, rs#1801394) in a single tube.

Objective: To investigate the effect of genetic polymorphism of (rs1801133) on methotrexate (MTX) related toxicity in pediatric mature B-cell lymphoma patients.
Methods: Fifty-eight intermediate and high risk patients under 18 years of age with mature B-cell lymphoma who received 5 g/m MTX (24 h intravenous infusion) in Sun Yat-sen University Cancer Center from August 2014 to December 2021 were included, and their toxicity of high-dose MTX (HD-MTX) were monitored and analyzed.
Results: Among the 58 pediatric patients, the number of CC, CT, and TT genotypes for was 33, 19 and 6, respectively.
