Genetic variants in the Folic acid Metabolic Pathway Genes predict outcomes of metastatic Colorectal Cancer patients receiving first-line Chemotherapy
[Paper-level Aggregated] PMCID: PMC7545690
Evidence Type(s): Prognostic, Predictive
Justification: Prognostic: The variant rs3786362 in TYMS is associated with reduced progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) in mCRC patients, indicating its potential as a prognostic marker for patient outcomes. Predictive: The study suggests that rs3786362 may serve as a predictive biomarker for survival in specific subgroups of mCRC patients, as it correlates with treatment response and survival outcomes based on genotype.
