BACKGROUND: The MTHFR 677C>T rs1801133 genetic variant, homocysteine (Hcy), cyanocobalamin (vitamin B12), and folic acid (vitamin B9) are factors associated with the physiopathology of multiple sclerosis (MS). This scoping review discussed the relationship between MTHFR 677C>T rs1801133 variant, Hcy, vitamin B12, and folate levels with the susceptibility and pathophysiology of MS.
METHODS: PubMed/US National Library of Medicine/USA database were used to search for cross-sectional, case-control, systematic reviews, and meta-analysis studies published in Portuguese and English, from 1990 to 2025.
RESULTS: Fifty studies were selected; of them, 22 showed higher Hcy levels in MS patients than controls, 9 showed no significant differences, and 6 did not evaluate this metabolite; 18 studies showed no difference in folate levels between MS patients and controls, 4 showed lower and 2 showed higher values in MS than controls, and 13 did not evaluate this metabolite; 18 studies showed no difference in vitamin B12 between MS patients and controls, 7 showed lower levels in MS patients than controls, and 12 did not evaluate this metabolite. Thirteen studies evaluated the association between the MTHFR 677C>T variant with MS; of them, 5 demonstrated a positive association between the T allele with MS, 1 showed association with the CC genotype, and 7 showed no association with MS.
CONCLUSION: This scoping review identified that Hcy levels were consistently increased while folate and vitamin B12 levels were conflicting in patients with MS; moreover, the association between MTHFR 677C>T variant and MS showed conflicting results. These results suggest the search of additional studies involving different worldwide population to clarify the association between these factors with susceptibility and pathophysiology of MS.
