Genomic DNA methylation changes in response to folic acid supplementation in a population-based intervention study among women of reproductive age.
Folate is a source of one-carbons necessary for DNA methylation, a critical epigenetic modification necessary for genomic structure and function. The use of supplemental folic acid is widespread however; the potential influence on DNA methylation is unclear. We measured global DNA methylation using...
