Abstract
Our study revealed a highly statistically significant positive correlation between hypertension and MTHFR gene SNP.
Regarding the C667T polymorphism, a higher frequency was detected among obese hypertensive children (60%) than obese normotensive children (26.7%) with a highly significant difference between them (p =0.009).
Genotypic analysis of the cases regarding C667T MTHFR revealed that 25 patients (35.7%) had genotype (CC), While 45 patients (64.3%) had mutant type, and 42 of them (60%) were heterozygous genotype (CT) and 3 (4.3%) were homozygous genotype (TT
