Folate deficiency as predisposing factor for childhood leukaemia: a review of the literature

26 May 2017

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Folic acid and its derivates, known as folates, are chemoprotective micronutrients of great interest because of their essential role in the maintenance of health and genomic integrity. The supplementation of folic acid during pregnancy has long been known to reduce the risk of neural tube defects (NTDs) in the foetus. Folate metabolism can be altered by many factors, including adequate intake through...
