Abstract excerpt
Epidemiological studies have shown that folate deficiency increases the risk of cancer by affecting DNA repair and methylation. Methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) is a key enzyme in folate metabolism. In this study, it was hypothesized that MTHFR (C677T and A1298C) polymorphisms would be associated with bladder cancer and also with hypermethylation of the promoter of the Ras association domain family 1A...
