MTHFR and mucositis: Meanwhile, close relations between MTX mediated high level mucositis (grade 3–4) and MTHFR rs1801133 polymorphism were identified in allele contrast (T vs. C: OR=2.28, 95%CI=1.49-3.50, P<0.001), homozygote comparison (TT vs. CC: OR=4.07, 95%CI=1.76-9.38, P=0.001), heterozygote comparison (TC vs. CC: OR=2.55, 95%CI=1.20-5.42, P=0.015), recessive genetic model (TT vs. TC/CC: OR=2.09, 95%CI=1.19-3.67, P=0.010), and dominant genetic model (TT/TC vs. CC: OR=2.97, 95%CI=1.48-5.96, P=0.002) (Figure 3).
