Abstract:Leukemia is a neoplastic disease that affects the proliferation of white blood cells and their progenitors. Folic acid deficiency is well-known as a risk factor for leukemia. Methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) enzyme functions in the folate metabolism route, DNA synthesis and methylation processes. Numerous research has been conducted to investigate the link between MTHFR and several human illnesses, including cancer, cardiovascular disease, psychiatric disorders and neurological issues. The current s… Show more
