Abstract

We examined 324 patients with various oncological diseases (157 patients with prostate cancer, 54 - with lung cancer, 47 - with uterine cancer, 42 - with cervical cancer and 24 patients - with breast cancer) and 391 relatively healthy donors. We investigated the frequency of key polymorphisms of folate metabolism genes (MTHFR: 677 C>T (Ala222Val); MTHFR: 1298 A>C (Glu429Ala); MTR: 2756 A>G (Asp919Glu); MTRR: 66 A>G (Ile22Met)). Analysis revealed no differences in the frequency of all examined gene polymorphisms and alleles between patients with oncological diseases and relatively healthy donors. All investigated genotypes and alleles of key folate cycle genes were not associated with the risk for the development of oncological diseases.
