Abstract excerpt
We recently analyzed the hypermethylation status of the p16INK4a (p16) gene promoter in normal-appearing mucosa obtained from patients with colorectal cancer. Hypermethylation of p16 was associated with reduced survival of these patients. In the present study, germ line polymorphisms in the folate- and methyl-associated genes, methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR), methionine synthase (MTR) and methionine...
