Abstract

The folic acid metabolism is the most important biochemical cell process. That’s why the great interest for different molecular-genetic disorders in folate metabolism genes is at stake in studying role of them in imbalance of DNA methylation, synthesis and reparation processes. The most valuable in this case is MTHFR gene. In the present paper we studied association of two polymorphisms C677T è A1298C of MTHFR gene with its histological subtypes included. We showed a positive association of both polymorphisms with both breast cancer itself and its lobular subtype. We also revealed association of both studied polymorphisms in breast cancer progression. These results reported of the important role of MTHFR gene breast cancer pathogenesis in Russian females.
