Risk of colorectal cancer associated with the C677T polymorphism in 5,10-methyl...
Guerreiro, Catarina Sousa; Carmona, Bruno; Gonçalves, Susana; Carolino, Elisabete; Fidalgo, Paulo; Brito, Miguel; Leitão, Carlos Nobre; Cravo, MaríliaBackground: Polymorphisms located in genes involved in the metabolism of folate and some methyl-related nutrients are implicated in colorectal cancer (CRC). Objective: We evaluated the association of 3 genetic polymorphisms [C677T MTHFR (methylene tetrahydrofolate reductase), A2756G MTR (methionine synthase), and C1420T SHMT (serine hydroxymethyltransferase)] with the intake of methyl-donor nutrients in CRC ris...
5' and 3' UTR thymidylate synthase polymorphisms modulate the risk of colorecta...
Carmona, Bruno; Guerreiro, Catarina Sousa; Cravo, Marília; Leitão, Carlos Nobre; Brito, MiguelThymidylate synthase, as a rate-limiting step in DNA synthesis, catalyses the conversion of dUMP into dTMP using 5,10-methylenotetrahydrofolate as the methyl donor. Two polymorphisms have been described in this gene: a repeat polymorphism in the 5' promoter enhancer region (3R versus 2R) and a 6 bp deletion in the 3' unstranslated region. Both of these may affect protein levels. The present case control study w...
