Association of Genetic Variants with Hyperhomocysteinemia in Indian Patients with Thrombosis.

ABSTRACT: Hyperhomocysteinemia known to be associated with increased thrombotic tendency has been considered as a risk factor for coronary artery disease, atherosclerosis, venous thrombosis, and stroke. There are three main genes MTHFR, cystathionine beta-synthase (CBS) and methionine synthase (MS) and it's genetic variant that are known to influence the homocysteine metabolism leading to hyperhomocysteinemia. There is scarcity of Indian data on hyperhomocysteinemia and genetics variants in patients with thrombosis. Hence the objective of present study was to determine MTHFR, CBS, and MS genetic variants in thrombosis patients from Indian population. Genetic variant analysis was performed on thrombosis patients to detect MTHFR C677T (rs1801133), MTHFR A1298C (rs1801131), MS A2756G (rs1805087) and CB
