Symbol: MTR Name: 5-methyltetrahydrofolate-homocysteine methyltransferase Entrez gene ID: 4548 Ensembl gene ID: ENSG00000116984 Species: Human (Taxid: 9606) Observation: 329 healthy individuals were examined for 2576A-->G (D919G) polymorphism in the MTR gene. Prevalence of the G-allele was significantly higher in the older than in the younger individuals. Separate analysis of female and male subjects revealed that the influence of the MTR genotype on male subjects became relevant at a younger age as opposed to female subjects suggesting a gender-dependent effect [16142417].
