Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) patients present a high prevalence of cardiometabolic risk, associated with worse clinical manifestations and mortality. Folate, an essential micronutrient that participates in vital immune cellular functions, could positively affect the cardiometabolic and disease risk in SLE, through the methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) enzyme, which participates in the folate metabolism, where single nucleotide variants (SNVs) have been described as a potential genetic risk factor for SLE. The aim of this study was to determine the association of the c.+677 C>T (rs1801133) and c.+1298 A>C (rs1801131)
