Abstract excerpt
5,10-Methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) is an important enzyme in the folate metabolic pathway. Common genetic polymorphisms in the human MTHFR gene are associated with individual variation in the efficacy and toxicity of chemotherapeutic agents, such as methotrexate and 5-fluorouracil. However, the full range of polymorphisms and intragene haplotypes in the human MTHFR gene remains unclear. Furthermore,...
