MTHFD1

A gene on chromosome 14q24 that encodes an enzyme that has three distinct enzymatic activities:
• 5,10-methylenetetrahydrofolate dehydrogenase (E.C. 1.5.1.5);
• 5,10-methenyltetrahydrofolate cyclohydrolase (E.C. 3.5.4.9); and
• 10-formyltetrahydrofolate synthetase (E.C. 6.3.4.3).
These activities interconvert methyl (1-carbon) derivatives of tetrahydrofolate, which serve as substrates for methionine, thymidylate and de novo purine synthesis.

Molecular pathology
Defects in MTHFD1 may increase susceptibility to folate-sensitive neural tube defects and colorectal cancer.

All SNPs were in HWE except the MTHFD1 SNP rs2236225 in affected individuals only (data not shown).

When segregating the A allele, MTHFD1 rs2236225 was significant by PDT in the broad phenotypic group (p = 0.

Of all the SNPs tested, only MTHFD1 rs2236225 was out of HWE (p = 0.

The MTHFD1 1958G>A (R653Q) allele is associated with neural tube defects (15).

Models were also fitted with MTHFDI included to determine any multilocus effects across MTHFR and MTHFD1.

The genotype frequencies for MTHFR and MTHFD1 in the 3 groups are shown in Table 1.

32), and the fit of the model was not improved by including MTHFD1 1958G>A.

We postulated that mutations occurring simultaneously in both the MTHFR and MTHFD1 genes could impair 5,10-MTHF and 5-methyltetrahydrofolate formation and hence lead to reduced SAM concentrations and decreased TPMT stability.
