Relative Distribution of Folate Species Is Associated with Global DNA Methylation in Human Colorectal Mucosa
20 May 2012
Abstract excerpt
Folate exists as functionally diverse species within cells. Although folate deficiency may contribute to DNA hypomethylation in colorectal cancer, findings on the association between total folate concentration and global DNA methylation have been inconsistent. This study determined global, LINE-1, and Alu DNA methylation in blood and colon of healthy and colorectal cancer patients and their relationship to folate...
