Here we demonstrate the existence of a common splicing founder mutation in the MTHFR gene, causing a severe MTHFR deficiency among individuals of Jewish Bukharic ancestry. Read more!
Methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) deficiency is a rare autosomal recessive disorder. A novel homozygous MTHFR c.474A>T (p.G158G) mutation was detected in two unrelated children of Jewish Bukharian origin. This mutation generates an abnormal splicing and early termination codon.
