Abstract
The present study attempts to understand the association of homocysteine, vitamin B12, folate, and MTHFR C677T gene polymorphism with cognitive impairment (CI) among 808 individuals of either sex (aged 30-70Â years) from a largely vegetarian, mendelian population of North India. Biochemical and genetic analyses were done using standard protocols. Results indicate that 34.3% of the subjects had mild CI, 28.7% moderate CI and 0.2% were having severe CI. Hyperhomocysteinemia was found to be a significant risk factor for moderate/severe CI. Both CT genotype and T allele of MTHFR C677T gene polymorphism were found to pose significant decreased risk for CI.
