## Abstract Multiple myeloma (MM) is a Bβcell malignancy characterized by aberrant immune function. Using genomic DNA extracted from 127 MM cases aged 21β84 years and 545 populationβbased controls, we examined the risk of MM associated with 82 common variants in 45 genes that mediate immunity among

## Abstract Genetic instability plays a crucial role in cancer development. The genetic stability of the cell as well as DNA methylation status could be modulated by folate levels. Several studies suggested associations between polymorphisms in folate genes and alterations in protein expression and
