Abstract excerpt
MTHFR is a key enzyme in folate metabolism that catalyzes the conversion of 5, 10—methlenetetrahydrofolate (5, 10— methylene THF) to 5—methyltetrahydrofolate (5—methyl THF), a predominant circulatory form of folate and methyl donor for the remethylation of homocysteine to methionine. Some studies have shown that C667T polymorphism increases the risk of pancreatic cancer. Since MTHFR is...
