Genetic and environmental influences on total plasma homocysteine and its role in coronary artery disease risk

Abstract:

Background: Elevated levels of total plasma homocysteine are a risk factor for atherosclerotic disease. Aims: The rationale behind this study is to explore the correlation between degree and site of coronary lesion and hyperhomocysteinemia in Lebanese CAD patients and assess environmental and genetic factors for elevated levels of total plasma homocysteine.
