The protein encoded by this gene catalyzes the conversion
of 5,10-methylenetetrahydrofolate to 5-methyltetrahydrofolate, a
co-substrate for homocysteine remethylation to methionine. Genetic
variation in this gene influences susceptibility to occlusive
vascular disease, neural tube defects, colon cancer and acute
leukemia, and mutations in this gene are associated with
methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase deficiency.1) Singh, K., et al.Postgrad Med 56(4):267-269(2010)
