摘要: 易感基因、环境及营养等因素在疾病发生过程中起到了重要作用。亚甲基四氢叶酸还原酶(MTHFR)、甲硫氨酸合成酶(MS)是叶酸和同型半胱氨酸(Hcy)代谢中的重要酶,其活性缺陷可能引起体内高同型半胱氨酸血症和DNA甲基化异常而导致多种疾病。目前对MTHFR基因单核苷酸多态性C677T与男性不育的相关性报道结论不一,而对另两种单核苷酸多态性(MTHFR A1298C、MS A2756G)与男性不育的相关性报道鲜见。就MTHFR及MS基因多态性与男性不育的研究进展作一综述。

Abstract: he factors, such as susceptible genes, enviroment and nutrition, play an important role in the process of disease. Methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase(MTHFR) and methionine synthase(MS) are the key enzymes in folate and homocysteine metabolism. Defect of their activities may increase the sera level of homocysteine(Hcy), induce abnormal DNA hypomethylation, thereby various dis-orders. There are some debates on the association between the polymorphism?C677T of MTHFR gene and male infertility, while there are few reports on the association between other gene polymorphisms(MTHFR A1298C,MS A2756G) and male infertility. In this review, we focused on the research of polymorphisms in the MTHFR and MS genes and Hcy in patients with male infertility.
