1 In preterm newborns, we previously showed a lower placental mRNA expression of FOLR1 along with higher folate and lower vitamin B12 cord blood levels. Folic Acid folate receptor alpha Homo sapiens
2 Thereby we aimed to explore FOLR1 methylation in placentas of preterm newborns and hypothesized an increased FOLR1 methylation associated with cord blood folates and vitamin B12 concentrations. Folic Acid folate receptor alpha Homo sapiens
3 Thereby we aimed to explore FOLR1 methylation in placentas of preterm newborns and hypothesized an increased FOLR1 methylation associated with cord blood folates and vitamin B12 concentrations. Folic Acid folate receptor alpha Homo sapiens
4 Preterm newborns presented higher folate and lower vitB12 concentrations in cord blood which correlated with increased placental FOLR1 methylation. Folic Acid folate receptor alpha Homo sapiens
5 DISCUSSION: In preterm newborns, placental FOLR1 expression is regulated by epigenetic mechanisms and presumably by maternal concentrations of folate and vitamin B12. Folic Acid folate receptor alpha Homo sapiens
