TL;DR

Children with ASD showed a high burden of functional MTHFR variants with genotype-linked metabolic variation and TT homozygosity was associated with ASD risk under recessive model, supporting a threshold-dependent genetic effect on one-carbon metabolism.

Association of HTR2A (rs6313) gene polymorphism with autism spectrum disorder in Jordanian children: a case-control study

The findings suggest no significant association between the HTR2A rs6313 and ASD susceptibility in the Jordanian population, and emphasize the need for larger, multi-marker studies to account for regional genetic diversity.

Defining metabolic heterogeneity in polyendocrine metabolic ovarian syndrome based on the MTHFR C677T polymorphism: the potential pathway role of homocysteine

Polyendocrine Metabolic Ovarian Syndrome (PMOS) is characterized by diverse endocrine and metabolic abnormalities. Patients differ substantially in obesity, insulin resistance, and cardiometabolic risk. Homocysteine (HCY) is associated with insulin resistance and metabolic abnormalities in patients with PMOS, and the m...

MTHFR Gene Variants and Major Depressive Disorder in Mexican-Mestizos

Background: Major depressive disorder (MDD) arises from genetic and environmental factors. We evaluated functional variation in methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR), circulating MTHFR protein, and homocysteine (HCY) in Mexican-Mestizo participants. Methods: We analyzed 1507 individuals across four cohorts: a pri...

An Association study of the SOD2 rs4880 (Ala16Val) Variant with Autism Spectrum Disorder.

Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is a complex and highly heterogeneous neurodevelopmental disorder. Among various contributing factors, oxidative stress plays a major role in ASD pathophysiology. The study of antioxidant genes, therefore, may contribute to revealing important aspects of ASD. The Superoxide Dismutase (SOD...

Contribution of MTHFR C677T and A1298C Variants to Retinoblastoma Risk in Mexican Children

Background: Retinoblastoma (RB) is the most common malignant intraocular tumor in childhood. Although germline and somatic alterations in RB1 contribute to RB development, additional genetic factors may influence susceptibility. Methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) participates in folate metabolism and DNA synth...
