Models adjusted for age, gender, hypertension, diabetes mellitus and genotypes. The results of genetic factors and combinations containing lower OR values compared to total (hypertension or diabetes mellitus) were eliminated. MTHFR, methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase; TS, thymidylate synthase; TSER, TS enhancer region.
