    These results indicated that hDHFR is not the only target of Pyr. We further found that thymidine phosphorylase (TP), an enzyme that is closely associated with the EMT of cancer cells, is also a target protein of Pyr. The data retrieved from the Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) database revealed that TP overexpression is associated with poor prognosis of patients with lung cancer

    Four single nucleotide polymorphisms (FOLH1: rs202676, DHFR: rs70991108, MTHFR: rs1801133 and rs1801131) associations with neural tube defects (NTDs) were evaluated.Genotype and allele frequency revealed that, rs1801133 (p.Ala222Val) was significantly associated with NTDs risk (p value = 0.028), whereas rs202676 (p.Tyr60His) showed protective role (p value = 0.0066). No significance was seen for rs70991108 or rs1801131.

    In ALL and NHL patients treated with methotrexate, treatment toxicities and outcome were evaluated. Multivariate analysis showed that DHFR-1610G/T (OR=0.107, p=0.018) and MTHFR677T alleles (OR=0.12, p=0.026) had a strong protective effect against hematologic toxicity, while DHFR-1610CC genotype increased this toxicity (OR=9, p=0.045).
