The variations within the prevalence of folate insufficiency may be attributed for the ethnic variance of dietary habits or individual susceptibility to polymorphisms in metabolizing folate-related genes for example DNMT3A and 3B. Previous studies have indicated a negative association involving plasma folate levels (or decreased folate intake) along with the risks of many cancers [14,23,24]. These findings had been constant with our results, despite the fact that other research have presented contradictory findings [25,26]. Folate is often a precursor of SAM, the key methyl group donor for many biological methylation reactions, that indirectly affects DNA methylation and epigenetic gene regulation, that is important to carcinogenesis [27]. The human DNMT family members is mainly categorized into DNMT1, DNMT3A, and DNMT3B, whichencode the maintenance and de novo methyltransferases. These enzymes can catalyze DNA methylation and serve an necessary function in chromosome instability and tumor progression [28]. A double knockout of DNMT3A and DNMT3B can strengthen the telomere recombination [29]. Furthermore, simultaneously silencing both DNMT1 and DNMT3B by utilizing the RNA interference technique has been demonstrated to attain a synergistic impact in the CpG island methylation in human bladder tumorigenesis [30]. The DNMT3A and 3B genes are positioned around the chromosomes 2p23.3 and 20q 11.2 and comprise 26exon/25intron and 24exon/ 23intron, respectively [31]. Lately, public databases have proposed various candidate SNPs within the DNMT3A and 3B genes.
