LOCUS for Homocysteine and Related Vitamins, Institute of Medicine, University of Bergen, and Haukeland University Hospital, Bergen, Norway
Cancer Epidemiol Biomarkers Prev 19:2549-61. 2010..Although associations with folate have frequently been studied, studies on other plasma vitamins B2, B6, and B12 and colorectal cancer are scarce or inconclusive...
Plasma folate, related genetic variants, and colorectal cancer risk in EPICSimone J P M Eussen
LOCUS for Homocysteine and Related Vitamins, Institute of Medicine, Section for Pharmacology, Department of Internal Medicine, University of Bergen, and Haukeland University Hospital, 5021 Laboratory Building, 9th Floor, Bergen, Norway

LOCUS for Homocysteine and Related Vitamins, Department of Pharmacology, Institute of Medicine, University of Bergen, and Haukeland University Hospital, Bergen, Norway
Cancer Epidemiol Biomarkers Prev 19:28-38. 2010..In summary, results from this large European cohort study showed an inverse association between vitamin B2 and GC risk, which is borderline significant, and a significant inverse association between vitamin B6 and GC risk...
Transcobalamin polymorphism 67A->G, but not 776C->G, affects serum holotranscobalamin in a cohort of healthy middle-aged men and womenBettina M Riedel
Section of Clinical Pharmacology, Laboratory of Clinical Biochemistry, Haukeland University Hospital, Bergen, Norway
J Nutr 141:1784-90. 2011..In summary, serum holoTC, but not plasma Cbl, MMA, or tHcy, varied according to TCN2 67A- > G genotypes. It remains to be determined whether this polymorphic effect on serum holoTC alters its diagnostic utility as Cbl status indicator...

Department of Public Health and Primary Health Care, University of Bergen, Bergen, Norway
Cancer Epidemiol Biomarkers Prev 20:1726-35. 2011..However, plasma folate and vitamins B2 and B12 have inconsistently been associated with colorectal cancer risk, and there have been no previous studies relating plasma concentrations of methionine, choline, and betaine to this outcome...
The association of gastric cancer risk with plasma folate, cobalamin, and methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase polymorphisms in the European Prospective Investigation into Cancer and NutritionStein Emil Vollset
LOCUS for Homocysteine and Related Vitamins, Institute of Medicine, University of Bergen, Bergen, Norway
Cancer Epidemiol Biomarkers Prev 16:2416-24. 2007..However, we observed increased gastric cancer risk at low cobalamin levels that was most likely due to compromised cobalamin status in atrophic gastritis preceding gastric cancer...

Folate and one-carbon metabolism gene polymorphisms and their associations with oral facial cleftsAbee L Boyles
Epidemiology Branch, National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences NIH, Durham, North Carolina 27709, USA
Am J Med Genet A 146:440-9. 2008..No associations were found between any of the polymorphisms and CPO. Genetic variations in the nine metabolic genes examined here do not confer a substantial degree of risk for clefts...

Department of Pharmacology, University of Oxford, UK
Clin Chem 50:1769-84. 2004..Newborn screening for total homocysteine (tHcy) in blood may identify babies with vitamin B12 (B12) deficiency or homocystinuria, but data on the causes of increased tHcy in screening samples are sparse...
