Methotrexate is used to treat autoimmune and oncologic diseases in children with Down syndrome. However, increased methotrexate-related toxicity is reported in this population. We evaluated differences in the concentrations and distribution of erythrocyte folates in children with Down syndrome as a potential basis for this enhanced toxicity.
