Periconceptional folate consumption is associated with neonatal DNA methylation modifications in neural crest regulatory and cancer development genes
2 Dec 2015
Abstract excerpt
Folate deficiency during early embryonic development constitutes a risk factor for neural tube defects and potentially for childhood leukemia via unknown mechanisms. We tested whether folate consumption during the 12 months prior to conception induced DNA methylation modifications at birth in healthy neonates with a genome-wide and agnostic approach. We hypothesized that DNA methylation in genes involved in...
