Methotrexate (MTX) is an important component of therapy used to treat childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). Two single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) gene, C677T and A1298C, affect MTHFR activity. A large body of studies has investigated the potential role of MTHFR SNPs in MTX toxicity in pediatric ALL. However, the results are controversial. In this review and meta-analysis, we critically evaluate the relationship between the C677T and A1298C polymorphisms of MTHFR and MTX toxicity in pediatric ALL. The majority of published reports do not find associations between MTHFR polymorphisms and toxicity in pediatric ALL. When associations are reported, often the results are contradictory to each other. The meta-analysis confirms a lack of association. In conclusion, MTHFR, C677T and A1298C polymorphisms do not seem to be good markers of MTX-related toxicity in pediatric ALL.
