Abstract/ Summary
The Smith and Refsum review of ‘Homocysteine’ – from biomarker to disease prevention in this issue of the Journal of Internal Medicine [1 – is much more than an updated review of the literature. It provides a history of the progression of studies on homocysteine in relation to cardiovascular disease and neurological disorders from its earliest days to the present time. It is a scholarly examination of the mounting evidence of the importance of homocysteine as a biomarker for cardiovascular and neurologic disease and the utility of B vitamins and folate as a treatment.
