Abstract excerpt
Methionine synthase [5-methyltetrahydrofolate-homocysteine S-methyltransferase (MTR)] is involved in folate-mediated one-carbon metabolism, a pathway known to play a role in colorectal carcinogenesis. We investigated whether the MTR D919G polymorphism was associated with risk of colorectal adenoma in a colonoscopy-based study of 513 cases and 609 controls from Minneapolis, MN. Adenoma risk appeared...
