“…Por outro lado, o alelo polimórfico MTHFR 677T já foi associado com doenças vasculares, aterosclerose de carótida, doença arterial obstrutiva e infarto do miocárdio [10][11][12][13][14] . Em DAC, o alelo polimórfico foi observado significantemente mais freqüente nos pacientes em relação aos controles [10][11][12][13][14]25 .…”

“…Em DAC, o alelo polimórfico foi observado significantemente mais freqüente nos pacientes em relação aos controles [10][11][12][13][14]25 . Em estudo brasileiro, o polimorfismo foi associado à gravidade da doença, mas não apresentou distribuição significantemente diferente entre pacientes com e sem DAC 26 .…”

“…This disequilibrium can be expected for a number of genetic diseases, considering that there probably is a significant genetic contribution in complex diseases 29 . Although some studies found evidence of an association between the polymorphic MTHFR 677T allele and vascular diseases, carotid atherosclerosis, occlusive arterial disease and myocardial infarction [15][16][17][30][31][32] , others did not confirm these hypotheses 11,33 .

“…The enzyme methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR), which plays an important role in the Hcy metabolism, presents decreased activity as a result of the polymorphism in the position 677 of the MTHFR gene, and leads to increased Hcy concentrations 13 . The variant allele MTHFR 677T has been found at high frequencies in patients with vascular diseases [14][15][16][17] .…”
