Global leukocyte DNA methylation is similar in African American and Caucasian women under conditions of controlled folate intake.

Epigenetics - 1 Jan 2000

Axume Juan, Smith Steven S, Pogribny Igor P, Moriarty David J, Caudill Marie A

Abstract excerpt

DNA methylation is an epigenetic feature that may modify disease risk, and can be influenced by folate status as well as by methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) C677T genotype. The aim of this study was to investigate the influence of ethnicity/race on global leukocyte DNA methylation under conditions of controlled folate intake. Caucasian (n = 14) and African American (n = 14) women (18 - 45 y) possessing...
