چکیده
The one-carbon metabolism pathway disorder was important role in successful pregnancy. The MTHFR and TS protein were crucial factor in one-carbon metabolism. To investigate the association between recurrent implantation failure (RIF) and enzymes in the one-carbon metabolism pathway. A total of 120 women diagnosed with RIF and 125 control subjects were genotyped for MTHFR 677C>T, 1298A>C, TSER 2R/3R and TS 1494del/ins by a polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism assay. According to the gene-gene combination analysis, the MTHFR 677/MTHFR 1298 (TT/AA) and MTHFR 677/TS 1494 (TT/6bp6bp) genetic combinations were associated with relatively higher risks [adjusted odds ratio (AOR), 2.764; 95% CI, 1.065-7.174; P = 0.037 and AOR, 3.186; 95% CI, 1.241-8.178; P = 0.016] in RIF patients compared to the CC/AA (MTHFR 677/MTHFR 1298) and TT/6bp6bp (MTHFR 677/TS 1494) combinations, respectively. The results suggested that the combined MTHFR 677/MTHFR 1298 genotype might be associated with increased risk of RIF. To the best of our knowledge, this study is the first to elucidate the potential association of MTHFR, TS and TSER polymorphisms with RIF risk in Korean patients.

Postmenopausal osteoporosis is one of the most prominent diseases in postmenopausal women and it is increasing in prevalence with the aging population. Furthermore, osteoporosis and osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures (OVCFs) are related to mortality and decreased quality of life. Therefore, searching for biomarkers that are able to identify postmenopausal women who are at high risk of...

A genetic susceptibility to acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) has been suggested. The present study was conducted to examine the influence of interaction between methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) variants and thymidylate synthase (TS) 28base pair (bp) repeat polymorphism on the risk of pediatric ALL. Sixty eight ALL children with the mean age of 8.19±4.0 years and 70 ageand sex-match...

Abstract Background Polymorphism A1298C of the methylenetetrahydrofolate-reductase (MTHFR) gene has been implicated in spontaneous abortion. In this study, we determined the allele and genotype frequencies of this polymorphism in recurrent spontaneous abortion (RSA) and implantation failure after in vitro fertilization (IVF). Materials and Methods We performed a case–control study on 60 wom...

The following SNPs were determined: methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) 677C>T and 1298A>C, methionine synthase reductase (MTRR) 66A>G, thymidylate synthase (TS) 2R/3R and Reduced Folate Carrier (RFC) 80G>A. MTX efficacy and adverse effects were c...

Two important polymorphisms of folate cycle enzymes, methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) C677T and thymidylate synthase (TS) enhancer region (TSER) 28-bp tandem repeat, are related to risk of various types of cancer, including brain tumors, although there are few studies on this subject. A case-control study of these two polymorphisms in astrocytomas of different grades was carried out ...
