Specifically, genome-wide decreased DNA methylation (‘hypomethylation’) in human cancers might be a consequence of decreased SAM levels. Because hypomethylation is particularly prevalent in transitional cell carcinoma of the urinary bladder (TCC), the genotype distributions for the two each most prevalent MTHFR, MS, and CBS alleles were compared between 165 TCC patients and 150 population controls. The distributions of the MTHFR 677A/V and the MS 919G/D alleles were not significantly different between cancer patients and controls, even after stratification according to age, gender, tumor stage or grade. The CBS 844INS68 allele was slightly less frequent in TCC patients than in controls (q=0.07 versus 0.10), but was rarer among males in both groups. Among the TCC patients, this gender difference was highly significant (Mantel–Haenszel and χ2-test P=0.007). No significant difference between TCC patients and controls was found for any combined genotype. Likewise, the extent of DNA hypomethylation determined in 62 carcinoma specimens was not related to the respective genotypes. Thus, on their own, the MTHFR, MS and CBS genotypes do not appear to act upon susceptibility to TCC or influence the extent of DNA hypomethylation in this cancer.</div>","PeriodicalId":100939,"journal":{"name":"Mutation Research/Mutation Research Genomics","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2001-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1016/S1383-5726(01)00010-3","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"56449597","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
