Abstract excerpt
Methionine synthase reductase (MTRR) gene is involved in tumorigenesis by regulating DNA methylation through activation of methionine synthase (MTR). MTRR is polymorphic at nucleotide 66 (A-to-G) and the resulting variant enzyme has a lower affinity for MTR. The reported associations of MTRR A66G polymorphism with cancer risk are contradictory. Therefore, we performed a meta-analysis to better assess the...
