Abstract excerpt
Thymidylate synthase (TS) is a crucial enzyme in folate metabolism and plays a vital role in DNA synthesis and repair. The most common polymorphism in TS is a unique double (2R) or triple (3R) 28-bp tandem repeat sequence in the enhancer region of the TS gene (TSER). This genetic variation in TSER has been widely investigated and has been implicated as a risk factor for the development of various cancers,...
