MTHFR and polycystic ovary syndrome: Although it was hard to conclude a concrete association between PCOS and ovarian cancer under the mechanism of MTHFR gene polymorphisms, the present study suggested that MTHFR C677T and A1298C polymorphisms were correlated with elevated PCOS risk while MTHFR C677T polymorphisms only posed a higher risk for ovarian cancer in Asians.
