  • Variant & Polymorphism SNP , other
  • common variant putatively involved in occlusive vascular disease, neural tube defects, colon cancer and adult acute leukemia, cardiovascular disease, 677CT/1298CC or 677TT/1298CC genotypes, 677CT/1298AC
  • polymorphisms increasing mortality risk in men in middle and old age
