Objectives Course Objective Emerging evidence links a functional polymorphism in the methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (. This is a phase 2 recall-by-genotype randomised single-blind placebo-controlled riboflavin supplementation trial. We will use the Keneba biobank to recruit approximately 102 individuals aged between 18-70, previously genotyped for the. The study will evaluate the role of riboflavin supplementation in BP control within a population with high levels of riboflavin deficiency and will test a possible gene-nutrient interaction with the.
