Abstract excerpt
Suboptimal DNA repair capacity is a risk factor for cancer that may be modulated by dietary nutrient intake, and serine hydroxymethyltransferase (SHMT) participates in folate metabolism and synthesis of purines and pyrimidines needed for DNA repair. Therefore, we tested our hypothesis that genetic variants of the cytosolic SHMT (SHMT1) gene are associated with lung cancer risk. In a hospital-based case-control...
