Genetic modifiers of folate, vitamin B-12, and homocysteine status in a cross-sectional study of the Canadian population.
BACKGROUND Genetic variation can cause variable responses to environmental stimuli. A number of single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) have been associated with B vitamin status or chronic diseases related to vitamin B-12 and folate metabolism. OBJECTIVE Our objective was to identify associations between common SNPs in genes related to folate and vitamin B-12 metabolism or associated with B v...
متن کاملMaternal folate status, but not that of vitamins B-12 or B-6, is associated with gestational age and preterm birth risk in a multiethnic Asian population.
BACKGROUND Maternal folate, vitamin B-12, and vitamin B-6 concentrations during pregnancy have been shown to influence birth outcomes, but the evidence is inconclusive. OBJECTIVE We aimed to examine the associations of maternal B-vitamin status with gestational age, birth weight, and length in a birth cohort study in Singapore. METHODS Maternal blood samples (n = 999) collected during weeks...
متن کاملAssociation between dietary folate intake and blood status of folate and homocysteine in Malaysian adults.
Folate is of prime interest among investigators in nutrition due to its multiple roles in maintaining health, especially in preventing neural tube defects and reducing the risk of cardiovascular diseases. We investigated the effect of dietary folate intake on blood folate, vitamin B(12), vitamin B(6), and homocysteine status. One hundred subjects consisting of Chinese and Malay subjects volunte...
متن کاملRelationship of folate, vitamin B-6, vitamin B-12, and methionine intake to incidence of colorectal cancers.
It is hypothesized that diets deficient in folate, methionine, and vitamins B-6 and B-12 cause DNA hypomethylation and, as a result, increase risk of colorectal cancers. Furthermore, it is proposed that alcohol, a methyl group antagonist, increases risk of colorectal cancers among those with low intake of folate. Data from the Iowa Women's Health Study, a population-based cohort of incident can...
متن کاملSerum folate but not vitamin B-12 concentrations are positively associated with cognitive test scores in children aged 6-16 years.
Folate and vitamin B-12 are important for nervous system functioning at all ages, with important roles in functions such as neurotransmitter synthesis. Although studies suggest a relation between folate and vitamin B-12 and cognitive function in the elderly population, there is relatively less evidence regarding these vitamins and children's cognitive function. The purpose of the study was to e...
