The MTHFR gene encodes the enzyme methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase which intervenes in the folate and homocysteine metabolism. Since this enzyme participates in various metabolic pathways, it has been linked to different processes related to thrombosis, spina bifida, cancer, and other defects in the closure of the neural tube. Patients who have a homozygous genetic state for this gene and present hyperhomocysteinemia and folate deficiency have a risk factor for developing venous thrombosis.

Hemochromatosis is a hereditary disease that affects the iron metabolism, causing an excessive and incorrect accumulation of this metal in the organs and, as a consequence, organ failure and damage (especially in the liver). The 3 most common polymorphisms in a gene related to iron absorption (HFE) which are H63D, S65C, and C28CY are studied.
