Abstract:
Hyperhomocysteinemia is known to be associated with arterial occlusive vascular disease and venous thrombosis. Here, we report a young ethnic Omani patient with recurrent venous thrombosis who was found to be heterozygous for 677C-T mutation in the methyltetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) enzyme. Moderate hyperhomocystenemia was also observed, in the presence of normal red cell folate and serum B12 levels. No other documented marker of hereditary thrombophilia could be demonstrated in this patient, in spite of extensive investigation on multiple occasions.

Translation
Translation is the process of synthesizing proteins from the genetic information carried by messenger RNA (mRNA). Following transcription, it constitutes the final step in the expression of genes. This process is carried out by ribosomes, complexes of protein and specialized RNA molecules. Ribosomes, transfer RNA (tRNA), and other proteins produce a chain of amino acids—the polypeptide—as the end product of translation.
