Plasma Hcy Levels in the Whole Population as a Function of MTHFR Genotype and Folate Levels (Stratification by Folate Values Above and Below the Median)

MTHFR Genotype A/A A/V V/V
Fasting tHcy (μmol/L)  13.9* 15.2* 18.4  
 Folate ≥11.5 nmol/L  13  14.1  12.7 
 Folate <11.5 nmol/L  14.5* 16.7*, 23.1  
PML tHcy increase (μmol/L)  23.6  23.6  25.5  
 Folate ≥11.5 nmol/L  22.9  23.5  21.4  
 Folate <11.5 nmol/L  24.9 25.1  28.8 
MTHFR Genotype A/A A/V V/V
Fasting tHcy (μmol/L)  13.9* 15.2* 18.4  
 Folate ≥11.5 nmol/L  13  14.1  12.7 
 Folate <11.5 nmol/L  14.5* 16.7*, 23.1  
PML tHcy increase (μmol/L)  23.6  23.6  25.5  
 Folate ≥11.5 nmol/L  22.9  23.5  21.4  
 Folate <11.5 nmol/L  24.9 25.1  28.8 

tHcy data are expressed as geometric means.

*

Significantly different from V/V by ANOVA and Tukey's post-hoc multiple comparison of the means of log-transformed data (P < .001).

Significantly different from all the other categories (A/A with low and high folate, A/V and V/V with high folate) after exclusion of the V/V with low folate group from the analysis (ANOVA and Tukey's post-hoc multiple comparison of the means of log-transformed data;P < .001).
