Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Interindividual genetic variations of human DNA methyltransferases (DNMTs), which involve the methyl donor from the folate-related one-carbon metabolism pathway, are hypothesized as a risk factor for urothelial carcinoma (UC). Therefore, we evaluated the role of gene-environment interaction in UC carcinogenesis. METHODS: A hospital-based case-control study was conducted by recruiting 192 patients with...
