Function

FUNCTION: Catalyzes the conversion of 5,10- methylenetetrahydrofolate to 5-methyltetrahydrofolate, a co- substrate for homocysteine remethylation to methionine. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:25736335}.;

Disease

DISEASE: Methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase deficiency (MTHFRD) [MIM:236250]: Autosomal recessive disorder with a wide range of features including homocysteinuria, homocysteinemia [MIM:603174], developmental delay, severe mental retardation, perinatal death, psychiatric disturbances, and later-onset neurodegenerative disorders. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:10679944, ECO:0000269|PubMed:20236116, ECO:0000269|PubMed:25736335, ECO:0000269|PubMed:25818041, ECO:0000269|PubMed:7726158, ECO:0000269|PubMed:8940272, ECO:0000269|PubMed:9781030}. Note=The disease is caused by mutations affecting the gene represented in this entry.; DISEASE: Ischemic stroke (ISCHSTR) [MIM:601367]: A stroke is an acute neurologic event leading to death of neural tissue of the brain and resulting in loss of motor, sensory and/or cognitive function. Ischemic strokes, resulting from vascular occlusion, is considered to be a highly complex disease consisting of a group of heterogeneous disorders with multiple genetic and environmental risk factors. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:15534175}. Note=Disease susceptibility is associated with variations affecting the gene represented in this entry.; DISEASE: Neural tube defects, folate-sensitive (NTDFS) [MIM:601634]: The most common NTDs are open spina bifida (myelomeningocele) and anencephaly. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:10323741, ECO:0000269|PubMed:7564788, ECO:0000269|PubMed:8826441}. Note=Disease susceptibility is associated with variations affecting the gene represented in this entry.; DISEASE: Schizophrenia (SCZD) [MIM:181500]: A complex, multifactorial psychotic disorder or group of disorders characterized by disturbances in the form and content of thought (e.g. delusions, hallucinations), in mood (e.g. inappropriate affect), in sense of self and relationship to the external world (e.g. loss of ego boundaries, withdrawal), and in behavior (e.g bizarre or apparently purposeless behavior). Although it affects emotions, it is distinguished from mood disorders in which such disturbances are primary. Similarly, there may be mild impairment of cognitive function, and it is distinguished from the dementias in which disturbed cognitive function is considered primary. Some patients manifest schizophrenic as well as bipolar disorder symptoms and are often given the diagnosis of schizoaffective disorder. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:15729744, ECO:0000269|PubMed:18583979}. Note=Disease susceptibility is associated with variations affecting the gene represented in this entry.;
