Choline is an essential nutrient that the body needs for healthy cell membranes and neurotransmitters to regulate gene expressions, lipid transport and metabolism, and brain development. There are specific single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) that impact choline metabolism and, therefore, methylation, a process vital for DNA stability and gene regulation.
Choline...
