Abstract excerpt
Folate deficiency is implicated in cancer risk that may be modulated by a genetic variation in the methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) gene in folate metabolism. We hypothesized that genetic variants in MTHFR are associated with risk of squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck (SCCHN). We genotyped 3 MTHFR polymorphisms (C677T, A1298C and G1793A) and estimated their haplotypes in a hospital-based...
