Within MTH1s active site, 8-oxo-dGMP adopts an antipodal conformation, engaging in -stacking interactions with Trp117 and Phe72

While classical presentations with malabsorption, chronic diarrhea, and failure to thrive still occur, predominantly in younger children, non-classical, oligosymptomatic, and asymptomatic forms now predominate ( In parallel with these changes, metabolic syndrome (MetS) has emerged as a major public health concern in children and adolescents, largely driven by the global rise in pediatric obesity ( Against this background, growing evidence suggests an emerging overlap between CD and obesity-related comorbidities ( This review aims to examine the risk of developing MetS in pediatric patients with CD by synthesizing current clinical and epidemiological evidence, exploring potential pathophysiological mechanisms, evaluating the impact of a GFD, and discussing how these insights can shift CD from a cardiometabolic risk to a preventive opportunity in the perspective of childrens health, emphasizing early nutritional and preventive strategies to support long-term cardiometabolic well-being

Babies need folate for the spinal column to develop fully, and the MTHFR variants increase the risk of problems.[ref] This is why prenatal vitamins contain folate and why folic acid is added to white rice and white flour
