Abstract excerpt
Methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) C677T polymorphism may influence the chemosensitivity of colorectal cancers to fluorouracil (5-FU) by increasing intracellular 5,10-methylenetetrahydrofolate. The effect of this polymorphism on the expression of thymidylate synthase (TS), dihydropyrimidine dehydrogenase (DPD), orotate phosphoribosyl transferase (OPRT) and thymidine phosphorylase (TP) in colorectal...
