1 The reduced folate carrier (RFC1) 80G > A and folate hydrolase 1 (FOLH1) 1561C > T polymorphisms and the risk of colorectal cancer: a nested case-referent study. Folic Acid replication factor C subunit 1 Homo sapiens
2 In this nested case-referent study, we related two such polymorphisms, reduced folate carrier (RFC1) 80G > A and folate hydrolase 1 (FOLH1) 1561C > T, to the risk of colorectal cancer, taking into account pre-diagnostic plasma folate and total homocysteine concentrations and the MTHFR 677C > T polymorphism, which were analysed in a previous study. Folic Acid replication factor C subunit 1 Homo sapiens
3 RESULTS: The RFC1 80A-allele was associated with reduced plasma folate and elevated plasma total homocysteine concentrations, but the result was statistically significant only for folate. Folic Acid replication factor C subunit 1 Homo sapiens
4 RESULTS: The RFC1 80A-allele was associated with reduced plasma folate and elevated plasma total homocysteine concentrations, but the result was statistically significant only for folate. Folic Acid replication factor C subunit 1 Homo sapiens
5 CONCLUSIONS: These findings suggest that although the RFC1 80G > A and FOLH1 1561C > T polymorphisms may influence folate status, they are not likely to have a major independent role in the development of colorectal cancer. Folic Acid replication factor C subunit 1 Homo sapiens
