Abstract excerpt
Progress in the elucidation of molecular genetic changes that lead to the development of tumors should soon bring novel diagnostic and therapeutic procedures into clinical practice. In this respect, methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) plays a central role in folate metabolism that affects DNA methylation and synthesis. DNA methylation is an epigenetic feature that influences cellular development and...
