The MTHFR C677T polymorphism and global DNA methylation in oral epithelial cells

DNA methylation is mediated by DNA methyltransferases (DNMTs) that add a methyl group to the 5′-carbon of cytosine. The enzyme methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) catalyzes the reduction of 5,10-methylenetetrahydrofolate to 5-methyltetrahydrofolate in the rate-limiting step of the cycle invo...
