Homozygous MTHFR 1298C individuals were 1.29 times more likely to develop skin cancer (95% CI, 1.04-1.61) compared with A1298C allele (AA or AC) carriers.
A total of 367 renal transplant recipients (117 with SCC and 250 without any skin cancer) were genotyped for key polymorphisms in the folate pathway (methylene tetrahydrofolate reductase; MTHFR:C677T), and the vitamin D pathway (vitamin D receptor: Intron8G/T;).
