description The 5,10-methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) gene mutations can reduce the activity of the enzyme, which has been shown to be a significant factor in the risk of developing certain types of cancer and numerous other diseases, including cardiovascular conditions, diabetes, ischemia, venous thrombosis, hypotonia, and many others. This study aims to determine the frequency of the two most prevalent MTHFR gene polymorphisms, C677T and A1298C, in the Syrian coastal population. Real-time PCR is used to detect MTHFR gene variants in samples from seventy healthy males from Syrian Coastal Area. The frequency of the C/C, C/T, and T/T genotypes for the C677T polymorphism was 47.14 percent, 38.57 percent, and 14.29 percent, respectively. The overall carrier rate was 52.86%, and the allelic frequency was 0.336. The genotypic prevalence of A/A, A/C, and C/C for the A1298C polymorphism was 44.29%, 35.71%, and 20%, respectively, with an allelic frequency of 0.378, while the overall carrier rate was 55.71%. In conclusion, the high prevalence of the MTHFR A1298C polymorphism is a significant finding that must be investigated in terms of clinical implications and reveals an additional genetic trait unique to the Syrian coast population.
