Objective To determine the relationship among C677T and A1298C gene polymorphisms of methyltetrahydrofolate reductase(MTHFR)and adult acute lymphocytic leukemia(ALL), the relationship between the toxicity of high-dose methotrexate(HD-MTX)after chemotherapy and the MTX blood concentration of 24 h, 48 h and 72 h in patients with ALL.Methods Blood samples were collected from 75 adult patients with ALL who were treated at the First Affiliated Hospital of Xinjiang Medical University from June 2014 to June 2020.The samples were used to detect the genetic polymorphisms of MTHFR C677T and A1298C, and the toxic reactions were graded according to the common toxic reaction classification criteria of anti-cancer drugs.Unconditional Logistic regression was used to analyze the relationship between MTHFR C677T and A1298C gene polymorphisms and HD-MTX toxic reactions and blood drug concentration.Results The risk of anemia in MTHFR 677TT was significantly higher than that in CC type(P=0.027, OR=4.694, 95% CI:1.195-18.438).No correlation was found between MTHFR C677T and leukopenia, thrombocytopenia, neutropenia, lymphogranulocytopenia, bone marrow suppression, elevated alanine aminotransferase, elevated aspartate aminotransferase, liver function injury, acute kidney injury and mucosal injury, 24 h, 48 h and 72 h MTX plasma concentrations(>0.05).No correlation was found among MTHFR A1298C and HD-MTX toxicity and blood concentration(P>0.05).Conclusions MTHFR C677T gene polymorphism is associated with hematotoxicity after HD-MTX chemotherapy in adult patients with ALL.
