Association of methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase gene–gene interaction and haplotype with susceptibility to acute lymphoblastic leukemia in Chinese children

Abstract: The aim of this study was to investigate the association of methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) gene polymorphism and additional gene-gene interaction with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) risk. Logistic regression was performed to investigate the association between two single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) within MTHFR gene and ALL risk and additional gene-gene interaction between rs1801133 and rs1801131. The minor allele of rs1801133 and rs1801131 is associated with decreased ALL risk, OR (95% CI… Show more

“…Polymorphisms of the methylenotetrahydrofolate reductase ( MTHFR ) and methylenetetrahydrofolate dehydrogenase 1 ( MTHFD1 ) genes are known to reduce the activity of the enzyme that is essential for folate bio-availability and metabolism [11,12]. The rs1801133 variant of the MTHFR gene and the rs2236225 variant of MTHFD1 have been widely investigated in relation to the modulation of the risk of ALL, in a number of different populations [12,13,22,23]. In the present study, the log-additive association models of both genes were associated with a protective effect for the development of B-cell ALL ( MTHFR : OR = 0.399; 95%CI = 0.277–0.571; P < 0.001; MTHFD1 : OR = 0.546; 95%CI = 0.385–0.776; P < 0.001).…”
