Association between the 2756A> G variant in the gene encoding methionine synthase and myocardial infarction in Tunisian patients

Abstract: The present study showed a significant but not independent association between the 2756A>G polymorphism of the MTR (presence of G allele) and MI in the Tunisian population.

“…The haplotype T-G is observed to confer 4.7-fold risk towards CAD whereas haplotype C-G provides nearly 1.7 fold protection towards development of CAD in studied population of Jammu region. The present study affirms that G-allele and GG- genotype of MS gene polymorphism (rs185087) is add significantly to the risk towards susceptibility of CAD as has been documented earlier [ 9 , 53 , 54 ].…”

“…Regarding MTR gene, the present study has figured out higher frequency of G allele in cases than in controls. Similarly, Jemaa et al (2008) revealed significant and dependent association between the G allele of the MTR gene and MI in Tunisian population 63 . Huang and colleagues (2008), observed a striking difference between MTHFR (C677T), MTR (A2756G) gene polymorphisms and hyperlipidemia in Northern Chinese subjects 64 .…”

“…However, the biochemical effects of MTR A2756G polymorphism have not been examined in vitro due to the inability to express human MTR at sufficient levels in an active form (Harmon et al 1999). Twenty-five studies have investigated the MTR-HCY association in healthy nonpregnant populations (Dekou et al 2001;Ma et al 1999;Silaste et al 2001;Klerk et al 2003;Chen et al 2001;Jacques et al 2003;Tsai et al 2009;Fredriksen et al 2007;Rodriguez-Oroz et al 2009;Harmon et al 1999;Bosco et al 2003;Chung et al 2010;D'Angelo et al 2000;de Lau et al 2010;DeVos et al 2008;Diwakar 2008;Fillon-Emery et al 2004;Geisel et al 2001;Holmes et al 2011;Jemaa et al 2008;Kluijtmans et al 2003;Naushad 2008;Palep-Singh et al 2008;Summers et al 2008Summers et al , 2010Yakub et al 2012). However, of the 25 studies, only 10 were conducted among a study population of greater than 100 participants with similar age distribution and ethnic background (Ma et al 1999;Klerk et al 2003;Chen et al 2001;Jacques et al 2003;Tsai et al 2009;Harmon et al 1999;D'Angelo et al 2000;Fillon-Emery et al 2004;Geisel et al 2001;Summers et al 2008); two of the 10 comparable studies support the association found in this research (Chen et al 2001;<...>…”
