Cancer Epidemiol Biomarkers Prev 15:2408-17. 2006..Our results corroborate previous findings for MTHFR Ala(222)Val and suggest that other genes involved in one-carbon metabolism, particularly those that affect DNA methylation, may be associated with colorectal cancer risk...- p53 Arg72Pro polymorphism and risk of colorectal adenoma and cancerAnita Koushik
