Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Low folate intake and changes in folate metabolism due to polymorphisms in the methylentetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) gene have been associated with myelomagenesis. However, controversial data have been published regarding a protective role of variant alleles of MTHFR on MM. PATIENTS AND METHODS: To investigate the influence of two common polymorphisms of MTHFR C677T and A1298C on the risk of...
