Abstract

âº We investigated the MTHFR 677C>T and metabolic syndrome (MS) in stroke patients. âº We find the prevalence of MS was significantly higher in stroke patients. âº The MTHFR 677TT were significantly higher in stroke with MS. âº MTHFR 677C>T may contribute to incidence of MS among ischemic stroke patients.
