Abstract excerpt
Folic acid is an essential component of 1-carbon metabolism, which generates methyl groups for DNA methylation. Disruption of genomic imprinting leads to biallelic expression which may affect disease susceptibility possibly reflected in high levels of S-adenosyl-homocysteine (SAH) and low levels of S-adenosyl-methionine (SAM). We investigated the association between folic acid supplementation during pregnancy and...
