ORs and 95%CI for the association between methionine intake and PC risk in carriers and noncarriers of C677T and A1298C MTHFR gene polymorphisms*.
| | PC cases Frequency (%) | Controls Frequency (%) | OR (95%CI), value |
| Methionine > 2.6 g/day in MTHFR polymorphism C677T carriers | | | | CC (homo wild type) | 36 (65.45) | 103 (53.65) | | CT (hetero) and TT (homo) | 19 (34.55) | 89 (46.35) | |
| Methionine > 2.6 g/day in MTHFR polymorphism A1298C carriers | | | | AA (homo wild type) | 36 (65.45) | 103 (53.37) | | AC (hetero) and CC (homo) | 19 (34.55) | 90 (46.63) | |
