Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVES: The folate antagonist high-dose methotrexate (HD-MTX) is integral to induction chemotherapy for primary CNS lymphoma (PCNSL); however, it can be associated with leukoencephalopathy. Methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) is involved in intracellular folate depletion. We assessed whether MTHFR polymorphisms affect the risk of leukoencephalopathy. METHODS: We retrospectively searched our database...
