摘要
亚甲基四氢叶酸还原酶(MTHFR)在调节血浆同型半胱氨酸水平和DNA甲基化中起重要作用,MTHFR基因突变可引起酶活性减低,使血浆同型半胱氨酸水平升高及DNA甲基化异常。研究发现MTHFR基因多态性与遗传性易栓症相关,可能引起包括脑性瘫痪在内的不良妊娠结局。
Methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase(MTHFR) plays an important role in modulation of plasma homocysteine and DNA methylation.MTHFR gene mutation results in decreased MTHFR activity,which leads to elevation of plasma homocysteine status and aberrant DNA methylation.Some studies show that MTHFR gene polymorphisms are associated with inherited thrombophilia,which may result in adverse pregnancy outcomes such as cerebral palsy.
