Official Title:

Brief Summary:

OBJECTIVES: I. Determine basal and postmethionine plasma homocysteine in patients with premature vascular disease, cystathionine beta-synthase (CBS) or methylenetitrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) deficiency, and in obligate heterozygotes for CBS or MTHFR.

II. Determine whole-body homocysteine metabolic rates with isotopically-labeled methionine.
