A potential dual role of folate in colorectal cancer (CRC) is currently subject to debate. Previous studies on plasma folate and CRC risk were small and inconclusive. We therefore investigate associations between plasma folate, a number of relevant folate-related polymorphisms and CRC risk. In this nested case-control study within the European Prospective Investigation into Cancer and Nutrition (EPIC) cohort, 1367 incident CRC cases were matched to 2325 controls for study center, age and sex. Risk ratios (RR) were estimated with conditional logistic regression and further adjusted for smoking, education, physical activity, and intake of alcohol and fiber. Overall analyses did not reveal associations of plasma folate with CRC. The RR (95% CI), Ptrend) for the fifth vs. the first quintile of folate status was 0.94 ((0.74; 1.20), 0.44). The polymorphisms MTHFR 677C→T, MTHFR 1298A→C, MTR 2756A→G, MTRR 66A→G, and MTHFD1 1958G→A were not associated with CRC risk. However, in individuals with the lowest plasma folate concentrations, the MTHFR 677TT genotype showed a statistically non-significant increased CRC risk (RR (95% CI, Ptrend) TT vs. CC =1.39 (0.87; 2.21), 0.12), whereas in those with the highest folate concentrations showed a non-significant decreased CRC risk (RR TT vs. CC=0.74 (0.39; 1.37), 0.34). The SLC19A1 80G→A showed a positive association with CRC risk (RR AA vs. GG1.30 (1.06; 1.59), <0.01). Within this large European prospective multicenter study we did not observe an association of CRC risk with plasma folate status, nor with the MTHFR polymorphisms.
