Hyperhomocysteinemia in Takayasu arteritis—genetically defined or burden of the proinflammatory state?
Takayasu arteritis (TAK) is associated with high plasma homocysteine (Hcy) and elevated Hcy predicts ischemic events. Thus, this study aims to compare the frequency of single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of genes involved in Hcy metabolism between T…
