BackgroundWhile several single nucleotide polymorphisms are known to influence the metabolism of folate, the methylene tetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) gene has been the most extensively studied. The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between the MTHFR polymorphisms 1298A>C and 677C>T and congenital heart disease. In addition, the relationship between these gene polymorphisms and homocysteine level was determined in Turkish subjects.
