Abstract excerpt
This pilot study has compared the polymorphic genotype frequencies of methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR A1298C and C677T), methionine synthase (MTR A2756G), methionine synthase reductase (MTRR A66G), and thymidylate synthase (TS 2R/3R) in 113 patients with sporadic colorectal adenocarcinoma (SCA) and 188 healthy blood donors, used as matched controls. The aim was to assess the role of these genotypes in...
