Abstract excerpt
Folate deficiency due to the methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) and methionine synthase (MS) variants leads to carcinogenesis by affecting DNA synthesis, repair, and methylation. We hypothesized that the MTHFR C677T, A1298C, and MS A2756G polymorphisms are associated with risk of bladder cancer. In a case-control study of 239 bladder cancer cases and 250 cancer-free controls, we found that the MTHFR...
