To explore the role of aberrant hypermethylation of cancer-related genes, such as P16, MGMT, and hMLH1, in the esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) as well as its relation to dietary folate intake and MTHFR C677T polymorphism, we conducted a molecular epidemiologic study in China.

Two common MTHFR polymorphisms, C677T and A1298C, which lead to an altered amino acid sequence, have been associated with a decreased enzyme activity and susceptibility to cancer suggesting that these genetic variants may modulate the risk of several malignancies.

Methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) and methionine synthase reductase (MTRR) play an essential role in both DNA synthesis and methylation and polymorphisms in the MTHFR gene, 677C>T, 1298A>C and the MTRR gene, 66A>G, are associated with several types of malignancy.

Compared with the CC genotype of MTHFR C677T, the TT/TC of the genotype significantly increased the risk of the esophageal squamous cells dysplasia [OR, 2.25; 95% confidence interval (CI), 1.18-4.31]; the OR of esophageal squamous cancer was 1.58 (95% CI, 0.85-2.97) after adjustments for age, sex, and years of education.

To evaluate the C677T and A1298C functional polymorphisms in the MTHFR gene and their associations with breast cancer risk, as well as the potential modifying effect by plasma folate status on the MTHFR-associated risk, a hospital-based case-control study was conducted on a Taiwanese population consisting of 146 histologically confirmed incident breast cancer cases and their 285 age-matched controls without a history of cancer.
