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...
The D1822V APC polymorphism interacts with fat, calcium, and fiber intakes in m...
Guerreiro, Catarina Sousa; Cravo, Marília; Brito, Miguel; Vidal, Pedro L.; Fidalgo, Paulo O.; Leitão, Carlos NobreBackground - Both genetic and environmental factors affect the risk of colorectal cancer (CRC). Objective - We aimed to examine the interaction between the D1822V polymorphism of the APC gene and dietary intake in persons with CRC. Design - Persons with CRC (n = 196) and 200 healthy volunteers, matched for age and sex in a case-control study, were evaluated with respect to nutritional status and lifestyle facto...
