Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Polymorphisms in thymidylate synthase (TS) 28-bp tandem repeats in the promoter region and in cytosolic serine hydroxymethyltransferase (SHMT1 C1420T) have been reported to modulate the risk of adult acute lymphocytic leukemia (ALL). We examined the associations between susceptibility to malignant lymphoma and these polymorphisms. DESIGN AND METHODS: A hospital-based prevalent...
