Low folate levels may protect against colorectal cancer

25 Apr 2006

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND AND AIMS: Dietary folate is believed to protect against colorectal cancer (CRC). However, few studies have addressed the role of circulating levels of folate. The aim of this study was to relate prediagnostic plasma folate and homocysteine concentrations and the methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) 677C>T and 1298A>C polymorphisms to the risk of developing CRC. SUBJECTS: Subjects were 226 cases...
