Effects of maternal folic acid supplementation on gene methylation and being small for gestational age

27 May 2016

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Being small for gestational age (SGA), a foetal growth abnormality, has a long-lasting impact on childhood health. Its aetiology and underlying mechanisms are not well understood. Underlying epigenetic changes of imprinted genes have emerged as a potential pathological pathway because they may be associated with growth, including SGA. As a common methyl donor, folic acid (FA) is essential for DNA...
