Abstract excerpt
DNA hypomethylation may increase the risk of colorectal cancer. The main aim of this study was to assess the influence of folate status (serum and erythrocyte folate and plasma homocysteine concentrations) on DNA methylation. Methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR 677C --> T and 1298A --> C), methionine synthase (MS 2756A --> G) and cystathionine synthase (CBS 844ins68) polymorphisms were measured to account...
