MTHFR gene variants and non-MALT lymphoma development in primary Sjogren’s syndrome
Abstract Primary Sjogren’s syndrome (pSS) confers increased risk for non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) development. Two common polymorphisms, the c. 677C > T and c. 1298A > C, of the methylene-tetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) gene, an enzyme essential in DNA synthesis and methylation, have been ass...
