We previously reported that 2 polymorphisms in the 5,10-methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) gene at positions C677T and A1298C were associated with lower risk of adult acute lymphocytic leukemia (ALL). In the present study, we have examined whether polymorphisms in other folate-metabolizing genes play a role in ALL susceptibility. Polymorphisms in methionine synthase (MS A2756G), cytosolic serine hydroxymethyltransferase (SHMT1 C1420T), and a double (2R2R) or triple (3R3R) 28-bp tandem repeat in the promoter region of thymidylate synthase (TS) were studied and found to modulate ALL risk. In a univariate analysis, SHMT1 1420CT individuals exhibited a 2.1-fold decrease in ALL risk (odds ratio [OR] = 0.48; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.25-0.91), whereas the 1420TT genotype conferred a 3.3-fold reduction in risk (OR = 0.31; 95% CI, 0.10-0.90). Similarly, TS 2R3R individuals exhibited a 2.8-fold reduction in ALL risk (OR = 0.36; 95% CI: 0.16-0.83), while the TS 3R3R genotype conferred an even greater level of protection (OR = 0.25; 95% CI, 0.08-0.78). However, no significant associations were evident for the MS 2756AG polymorphism (OR = 0.79; 95% CI, 0.38-1.7). In addition, potential interactions between the SHMT1 and TS or MS genes were observed. TS 3R3R individuals who were SHMT1 1420CT/TT had a 13.9-fold decreased ALL risk (OR = 0.072; 95% CI, 0.0067-0.77). Further, MS 2756AG individuals who were SHMT1 1420CT/TT had a 5.6-fold reduction in ALL risk (OR = 0.18; 95% CI, 0.05-0.63). This study suggests an important role for uracil misincorporation and resultant chromosomal damage in the pathogenesis of ALL, and that genetic interactions involving low penetrance polymorphisms in folate-metabolizing genes may increase ALL risk.
