5,10-methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) is an important enzyme in folate metabolism. A novel polymorphic site in MTHFR (G1793A) could influence the homocysteine levels and was first described in 2002. Investigations revealed that this allele was associated with susceptibility to several cancers, but its distribution around the world was not adequate. To study the prevalence of the mutant frequency in...
