摘　　要：5,10-亚甲基四氢叶酸还原酶是叶酸代谢通路中的关键酶,在编码该酶的MTHFR基因中已发现多种单核苷酸多态性位点可能导致该酶活性的降低。该酶维持体内同型半胱氨酸正常水平及参与DNA的合成。MTHFR基因多态性被发现可能与男性不育及育龄女性复发性流产有关,将可能导致体内高同型半胱氨酸水平和DNA合成障碍及低甲基化反应,使人体叶酸代谢发生障碍。本文就5,10-亚甲基四氢叶酸还原酶基因多态性对男性不育、育龄女性复发性流产的影响进行综述。5, 10-methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase （MTHFR） is the key enzyme in folic acid metabolic pathways. Currently data repor- ted that single nucleotide polymorphisms may decrease the activity of the enzyme. The enzyme keeped the normal levels of homocysteine in body and involved in the synthesis of DNA. MTHFR gene polymorphism was found to be probably related to male sterility and recurrent miscarriage of childbearing women, leading to high homocysteine levels and the disorder ofDNA synthesis and low methylation reaction. All of these make the folate metabolism disor- der. This paper discusses the association be- tween genetic factor （gene polymorphism of 5, 10-methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase ） and male infertility and recurrent miscarriage of childbearing women.
