The effects of methyl-donor deficiency on mutation induction and transgenerational instability in mice.

Abstract excerpt

The results of recent human and animal studies have provided strong evidence for the epigenetic effects of a dietary deficiency of methyl donors such as folate, choline and methionine on cancer risk and some other common diseases. However, the mechanisms underlying the links between epigenetic alterations and disease remain elusive. To establish whether a methyl-donor deficient diet can result in long-term...
