Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Disruptions in folate metabolism are known to increase the risk for neural tube defects (NTD) and this is preventable by folic acid supplementation. However, the relationship between folate metabolism and cardiac development remains unclear. The interaction between other folate pathway nutrients, choline and riboflavin, and folate metabolism was studied in a murine model of methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) deficiency. Maternal choline deficiency, riboflavin deficiency and MTHFR deficiency adversely affected embryonic or heart development. The promoters of MTHFR were also examined for interactions with GATA-4, TBX5, MEF2A and NKX-2.5, known transcription factors of cardiac development. Upstream promoter activity was increased in the presence of GATA-4 and this interaction was further enhanced upon the addition of MEF2A. TBX5 appeared to decrease upstream promoter activity. GATA-4 modestly increased downstream promoter activity. These results highlight the importance of adequate nutrient intake during pregnancy and provide a link between folate metabolism and cardiac development.

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
