Folate Deficiency and MTHFR C677T Polymorphism Associated with Homocysteine
Paula Warner
A study epublished in January 2017 observed that the methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) C677T polymorphism and low levels of folate and vitamin B12 correlate with elevated serum total homocysteine (tHcy) levels.

This polymorphism has been linked to colon cancer, acute lymphoblastic leukemia, Alzheimer's disease, and recurrent pregnancy loss.
