Breast cancer is the most incident cancer among women. We investigated the role of polymorphisms of folate metabolizing genes MTHFR (C677T and A1298C), SHMT1 (C1420T) and MTHFD (G1258A) in genetic susceptibility to this type of cancer. We determined allele and genotype frequencies in case (850 women with sporadic form of breast cancer) and control (810 women) groups. None of these polymorphisms was significantly associated with breast cancer risk. To increase statistical power of our study, we conducted a meta-analysis which included published genotype data and the results of our work. Meta-analysis also revealed no significant association of studied SNPs with breast cancer.
