Polymorphisms in MTHFR, MTR, RFC1 and C ßS genes involved in folate metabolism and thyroid cancer: a case-control study.
Conclusions: MTHFR 677C>T is significantly associated with increased risk for thyroid cancer and MTR 2756A>G is associated with tumor extent and aggressiveness. In addition, alcohol and tobacco consumption were associated with increased risk of thyroid cancer. These results may contribute to a better prognosis for thyroid cancer.
