The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between methylation profile in the MTHFR gene promoter and biochemical, inflammatory and oxidative stress markers in individuals with type 2 diabetes (T2DM) who have been diagnosed for 5-10 years with or without diabetic retinopathy (DR) and nephropathy (DN).
The aim was to investigate the distribution of ACE and MTHFR genotypes as well as to evaluate the role of plasmatic total homocysteine levels (tHcy) and ACE activity in Tunisian patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM).
The association between end-stage diabetic nephropathy and methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase genotype with macroangiopathy in type 2 diabetes mellitus.
The frequency of two MTHFR mutations, a recently described mutation in the human MTHFR gene A1298C and C677T, whose association with DN is already known, was determined in an Israeli Jewish population with type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM).
The objective of this study was to investigate a possible role for the MTHFR 677C>T gene polymorphism with PAD in subjects with type 2 diabetes from an isolated aboriginal Canadian population.
There does not appear to be compelling evidence of an association between the genotype at the rs1801133 polymorphism of the MTHFR gene and risk of type 2 DM.
These findings indicate that ACE and MTHFR genetic polymorphisms might be considered as genetic risk factors for diabetic nephropathy among patients with type 2 diabetes.
This study addressed the association of C677T and A1298C single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of MTHFR gene with DN in Tunisian type 2 diabetes (T2DM) patients.
This study aimed to investigate the influence of the C677T and A1298C polymorphisms of the MTHFR gene on the development of diabetic nephropathy in Caucasian patients with type 2 diabetes.
Thus, we conceived the need for further studies to investigate MTHFR and PPARγ2 gene polymorphisms and their susceptibility to type 2 diabetes mellitus in north Indian population.
To assess the contribution of fasting blood glucose and methylene-tetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) gene polymorphism on fasting serum homocysteine (tHcy) levels in patients with uncomplicated type 2 diabetes compared with healthy subjects.
Using polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) method the eNOS G894T and MTHFR polymorphisms were detected in 72 microalbuminuric, 68 macroalbuminuric, and 72 normoalbuinuric type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) patients from Western Iran.
We assessed the contribution of serum homocysteine levels, an independent risk factor for vascular disease, and of the methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) C677T mutation to the variability of carotid intimal-medial thickness (IMT) in patients with non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (NIDDM).
We evaluated the association between tHcy levels and methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) 677C-->T genotype in a type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM) population and their relationship with oxidized LDL (ox-LDL) according to dietary habits and vascular complications.
We found that in patients with type 2 diabetes the methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase VV genotype was associated with a low urinary albumin excretion but not with coronary artery disease or diabetes per se.
We further sought to identify whether the gene variant MTHFR 667C>T is associated with T2DM, and how Hc and MTHFR 667C>T also impact other correlates of T2DM, including the widely used diuretics in this study population.
We investigated the association of C677T and A1298CMTHFR gene variants and altered homocysteine concentrations in Lebanese and Bahraini type 2 diabetes (T2DM) DN patients.
We investigated the contribution of plasma homocysteine levels and the methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase gene polymorphism to the variability of carotid intima-media thickness in 124 consecutive Italian patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus.
We investigated the relationship among biochemical and cardiac risk parameters with the methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) C677T genotype in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) patients.
We reviewed and extracted data from all the included studies on the relationship between MTHFRC677T polymorphism and T2DM in the Chinese Han population.
