Özet

Background: Methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) polymorphisms may cause various medical disorders through different mechanisms. We aimed to determine the allelic frequency and the prevalence of homozygous MTHFR polymorphisms in a tertiary university hospital population that necessitated MTHFR polymorphism investigation owing to various reasons.
