The polymorphisms examined and haplotypes generated included thymidylate synthase (TYMS 28-bp triple repeat [3R]-->double repeat [2R], 1494del6, IVS6 -68C>T, 1122A>G, and 1053C>T); 5,10-methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR 677C>T and 1298A>C); serine hydroxymethyltransferase (SHMT1 C1420T); reduced folate carrier (RFC G80A); and methionine synthase (MTR A2756G), making the present study the largest and most comprehensive to date to evaluate associations between genetic polymorphisms in folatemetabolizing genes and NHL risk.
We investigated the contribution of common genetic polymorphisms in RFC-1 (G80A), ATIC (C347G), and TS (28-bp tandem repeats located in the TS enhancer region [TSER*2/*3]) and of MTXPGs to the effect of MTX in patients with rheumatoid arthritis.

A case-control study of 72 retinoblastoma cases and 98 cancer-free children controls was performed to investigate whether the polymorphisms of the methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR C677T and A1298C), methionine synthase (MTR A2756G), carrier of reduced folate 1 (RFC-1 A80G) and thymidylate synthase (TYMS 2R > 3R) altered the risk for retinoblastoma.
This study aimed to analyze a dataset of genetic and cytogenetic data in an Italian group of MDS and mothers of healthy children (control mothers) to assess the predictive capacity of artificial neural networks assembled in TWIST system in distinguish consistently these two different conditions and to identify the variables expressing the maximal amount of relevant information to the condition of being mother of a DS child.The dataset consisted of the following variables: the frequency of chromosome damage in peripheral lymphocytes (BNMN frequency) and the genotype for 7 common polymorphisms in folate metabolic genes (MTHFR 677C>T and 1298A>C, MTRR 66A>G, MTR 2756A>G, RFC1 80G>A and TYMS 28bp repeats and 1494 6bp deletion).

Low dietary folate intake (P < 0.001), RFC1 G80A (OR: 1.38, 95% CI 1.06-1.81) and MTHFR C677T (OR: 1.74 (1.11-2.73) were independently associated with the breast cancer risk whereas cSHMT C1420T conferred protection (OR: 0.72, 95% CI 0.55-0.94).

Conversely, for women over 50, the risk of breast cancer development was statistically associated with the MTHFR 677CT genotype, but especially significant was risk associated with the presence of the polymorphic allele of cSHMT C1420T (P = 0.0120) and the protective effect associated with the RFC1 G80A polymorphism allele (P = 0.0021), was restrict to this age group.

In view of growing body of evidence favouring the association of aberrations in one-carbon metabolism and oxidative stress in the aetiology of coronary artery disease (CAD), we investigated the risk associated with polymorphisms regulating the folate uptake and transport such as the glutamate carboxypeptidase II (GCPII) C1561T, reduced folate carrier 1 (RFC1) G80A and cytosolic serine hydroxymethyltransferase (cSHMT) C1420T.
Children with ALL (n = 96) were screened for GCPII C1561T, RFC1 G80A, cSHMT C1420T, TYMS 5´-UTR 2R3R, TYMS 3´-UTR ins6/del6, MTHFR C677T, MTR A2756G polymorphisms using PCR-RFLP and PCR-amplified fragment length polymorphism techniques.
