Abstract

Changes in folate cycle and xenobiotic biotransformation system genes may cause the different susceptibility to non-Hodgkin's lymphomas (NHL). In the present study the association between seven single nucleotide substitutions in the folate cycle genes and deletions in genes of glutathione-S-transferase M1 and T1 (GSTM1 and GSTT1) with genetic risk of NHL was investigated. Association of 1958A-mutant allele with decreased aggressive lymphoma risk was revealed for polymorphic locus G1258A MTHFD1 (OR = 0.578, CI [0.415-0.805], p < 0.001). The combination of mutant 1420T alleles in homozygous T/T-genotype of SHMT1 gene may cause an increased aggressive lymphoma risk in 2.2 times (p < 0.02). The carriers of the mutant GSTM1 genotype have increased follicular lymphoma risk (OR = 1.96, CI [1.072-3.581], p < 0.02). Thus, these polymorphic variants may play a role in the pathogenesis of NHL and be used in non-Hodgkin's lymphomas diagnosis.
