Abstract

In a representative set of 27 Czech patients suffering from cardiovascular disease with mild hyperhomocysteinaemia (mHHC) (> 20μmol/l), polymorphisms of MTHFR 677 C > T, MTHFR 1289 and MTRR-Met were followed. The above mentioned patients were selected from a large group of patients (n=5884) according to intensity of their clinical and metabolic status. A significantly high incidence of MTHFR 677 C > T polymorphism was observed (p < 0,001). The incidence of other types of polymorphism (MTHFR 1289 and MTRR-Met) was not significantly changed. All hyperhomocysteinaemic patients were supplemented with critical vitamins (i.e. folate, cobalamin and pyridoxine). In 70% of patients with mHHC were folate reversible, 9 % cobalamin-reversible and 6% pyridoxal phosphate-reversible. 15% of patients-resistant to any supplementation of vitamins are now treated with hetaine or riboflavin.
