BACKGROUND: Folate and methionine metabolism enzymes could affect DNA synthesis and repair, and their methylation and polymorphisms have been associated with some forms of cancer. This study was carried out to investigate whether the MTHFR C677T (rs1801133), MTHFR A1298C (rs1801131) and TYMS 2R/3R (rs34743033) polymorphisms are associated with susceptibility to retinoblastoma in an Iranian population.
