MTHFR polymorphisms as risk for male infertility in Pakistan and its comparison with socioeconomic status in the world.
Personalized Medicine 2018 November 24
AIM: 5,10-MTHFR-single nucleotide polymorphisms are important for normal functioning of the enzyme that plays a key role in DNA synthesis, folate-metabolism and methylation reactions. Methodology & results: Male-infertility association of C665T and A1298C polymorphisms was explored, this topic is still debatable. Infertile men (232) and controls (114) were genotyped and statistically analyzed. Comparison of patients (6180) and controls (5744) of Caucasian populations was performed by meta-analysis. Pooled results showed A1298C minor allele and homozygous genotype to be of a significantly higher frequency in the low-income group. Increase in per capita income has shown an increasing trend in the minor allele frequency in various world populations, potentially due to dietry-folate compensation.
CONCLUSION: A1298C seems more relevant marker than C665T for infertility association in Caucasian populations and may be addressed by improving dietary-folate.
