چکیده
introduction: polymorphism in genes involved in folate metabolism may cotribute to the susceptibility to acute lymphoblastic leukemia (all). patients and methods : to examine the influence of polymorphism in thymidylate synthase (ts 28-bp repeat) and methionine synthase (ms a2756g) genes on the susceptibility to all, 73 children with all and 128 age and gender matched, unrelated healthy individuals from kermanshah province were studied. detection of ts 28-bp repeat and ms a2756g polymorphisms were performed by pcr and pcr-rflp, respectively. results: the frequency of ts 2r allele in patients and controls were 41.5 and 38%, respectively (or 1.4, 95%ci 0.76-2.56, p=0.27). the allelic frequency of g allele of ms was higher (25%) in patients compared with healthy subjects (23%) [or 1.04, 95%ci 0.58-1.87, p=0.8]. considering ms aa and ts 3r3r genotypes as references indication where that individuals with ms gg+ts 2r2r genotypes have 1.3 - fold increase risk of all (or 1.3, 95%ci 0.6-2.7, p=0.5). conclusions : for the first time, our study has determined the frequency of polymorphism in two genes involved in the folate metabolism in a homogenous ethnic group of all patients. it seems that neither ts 28bp-repeat nor ms a2756g polymorphisms might be risk factors for susceptibility to all in western iran.

The enzyme thymidylate synthase (TS) converts dUMP into dTMP and requires folates as co-factors. Since dTMP is necessary for DNA synthesis, TS is an important target of cancer chemotherapy. Ethnic variations of the polymorphic tandem repeat sequence in the enhancer region of the TS promoter, has previously been described to influence the outcome of acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (ALL). A triple ...

Polymorphisms in genes involved in folate metabolism may modulate the risk of colorectal cancer (CRC), but data from published studies are conflicting. The current meta-analysis was performed to address a more accurate estimation. A total of 41 (17,552 cases and 26,238 controls), 24(8,263 cases and 12,033 controls), 12(3,758 cases and 5,646 controls), and 13 (5,511 cases and 7,265 controls) stu...

Background: Methotrexate has an important role in treatment of acute leukemia. We measured methotrexate level in CSF and blood of children with acute lymphoblastic leukemia to determine complications and outcomes. Materials and Methods: One hundred and twenty patients (73 male, 47 female), with mean age at diagnosis of 6.1 years (11mo_15years) entered the study. Patients were divided into two...
