result in megaloblastic anaemia. Folate metabolism, which requires the enzyme methionine
synthase reductase (MTRR), is necessary for DNA synthesis and the transmission of one‐
carbon methyl groups for cellular methylation. In this study, we show that the hypomorphic
Mtrrgt/gt mutation in mice results in late‐onset and sex‐specific blood defects, including
macrocytic anaemia, extramedullary haematopoiesis and lymphopenia. Notably, when …
