Methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) is the critical enzyme in biotransformation. The polymorphism of MTHFR is a risk factor for schizophrenia. However, whether the MTHFR polymorphism is associated with schizophrenia disease phenotypes and what is the underlying mechanism of MTHFR polymorphism in schizophrenia is under-investigated. In this study, we aim to verify the correlation between MTHFR polymorphisms and clinical features of schizophrenia, while exploring the differential genomic
