• Dietary methyl donors, methyl metabolizing enzymes, and epigenetic regulators: diet–gene interactions and promoter CpG island hypermethylation in colorectal cancer 

      De Vogel, Stefan; Wouters, Kim A. D.; Gottschalk, Ralph W. H.; Schooten, Frederik J.; Goeij, Anton F. P. M.; Bruïne, Adriaan P.; Goldbohm, R. Alexandra; den Brandt, Piet A.; Engeland, Manon; Weijenberg, Matty P. (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2010-12-14)
      Dietary methyl donors might influence DNA methylation during carcinogenesis of colorectal cancer (CRC). Among 609 CRC cases and 1,663 subcohort members of the Netherlands Cohort Study on diet and cancer (n = 120,852), we ...

(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2014-08)
      Background Disturbances in one carbon metabolism may contribute to carcinogenesis by affecting methylation and synthesis of DNA. Choline and its oxidation product betaine are involved in this metabolism and can serve as ...
