Abstract excerpt
There is substantial evidence that the decreased risk of lung cancer with high intake of vegetables and fruits is linked to folate as a specific nutrient. Functional polymorphisms in genes encoding one-carbon metabolism enzymes, methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR C677T and A1,298C), methionine synthase (MTR A2,756G), methionine synthase reductase (MTRR A66G) and thymidylate synthase, influence folate...
