Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) plays a critical role in folate metabolism and displays common genetic polymorphisms affecting the enzyme activity. The MTHFR genetic polymorphisms have been associated with a decrease in the risk of developing the lymphoid but not myeloid form of pediatric and adult leukemias. AIM: In this study we describe the genotyping of the MTHFR C677T polymorphism by...
