Abstract excerpt
Down syndrome (DS) is the most common chromosomal disorder, resulting from the failure of normal chromosome 21 segregation. Studies have suggested that impairments within the one-carbon metabolic pathway can be of relevance for the global genome instability observed in mothers of individuals with DS. Based on the association between global DNA hypomethylation, genome instability, and impairments within the...
