Genomic DNA hypomethylation is associated with neural tube defects induced by methotrexate inhibition of folate metabolism.

DNA methylation is thought to be involved in the etiology of neural tube defects (NTDs). However, the exact mechanism between DNA methylation and NTDs remains unclear. Herein, we investigated the change of methylation in mouse model of NTDs associated with folate dysmetabolism by use of ultraperform...
