Abstract excerpt
Published studies on the relationships between 5,10-methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) polymorphisms and lung cancer risk have been conflicting. To derive a more precise estimation of the relationship, a meta-analysis was performed. Odds ratios (ORs) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were estimated to assess the association between MTHFR C677T and A1298C polymorphisms and lung cancer risk. A total of...
