Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: The 5,10-methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) 677C-->T polymorphism has been associated to a higher risk to develop proximal gastric cancer. AIM: To study the role of the MTHFR C677T polymorphism as a risk factor for the development of distal gastric cancer (DGC) in a Mexican population. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Fifty-one histologically confirmed DGC (mean age = 57.6y, F:M = 0.76) and 83...
