Abstract:Background: Metabolic reprogramming caused by SHMT1/2, as key enzymes in one-carbon metabolism, has been considered to play a critical role in occurrence and progression of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). However, the associations between single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in SHMT1/2 genes and susceptibility of HCC remains unknown. The purpose of this study was to investigate the relation between four candidate SNPs in SHMT1/2 and risk of HCC in Chinese population.
