摘要：

Increased dietary intake of folate has been shown to significantly reduce the risk for fatal myocardial infarction, possibly by lowering homocysteine levels. We therefore investigated the association between recurrent cardiovascular events and a mutation in methionine synthase (2756 A-->G)-an enzyme directly involved in folate and homocysteine metabolism. This mutation significantly reduced the risk for recurrent cardiovascular events and elevated red blood cell folate levels.
