Increased methylation at differentially methylated region of GNAS in infants born to gestational diabetes. [PDF]
BackgroundOffspring of pregnancy complicated with gestational diabetes (GDM) are at high risk for metabolic diseases. The mechanisms behind the association of intrauterine exposure to GDM and high risk of health problems in later life remain largely ...

Obesity-Associated Differentially Methylated Regions in Colon Cancer
Obesity with adiposity is a common disorder in modern days, influenced by environmental factors such as eating and lifestyle habits and affecting the epigenetics of adipose-based gene regulations and metabolic pathways in colorectal cancer (CRC).

No evidence for a parent of origin specific differentially methylated region linked to RASGRF1
Imprinted genes are expressed from one parental allele in a parent-of-origin manner. This mono-allelic behavior is regulated by allele-specific DNA methylation that is confined to differentially methylated regions (DMRs).

The human HYMAI/PLAGL1 differentially methylated region acts as an imprint control region in mice. [PDF]
Imprinting centers (IC) can be defined as cis-elements that are recognized in the germ line and are epigenetically modified to bring about the full imprinting program in a somatic cell.

Impact of DNA methylation of the human mesoderm-specific transcript (MEST) on male infertility
Male infertility accounts for nearly 40%–50% of all infertile cases. One of the most prevalent disorders detected in infertile men is errors in the MEST differentially methylated region (DMR), which has been correlated with poor sperm indexes. The aim of

Background The primary differentially methylated regions (DMRs) which are maternally hypermethylated serve as imprinting control regions (ICRs) that drive monoallelic gene expression, and these ICRs have been investigated due to their implications in ...

Intronic parent-of-origin dependent differential methylation at the Actn1 gene is conserved in rodents but is not associated with imprinted expression. [PDF]
Parent-of-origin differential DNA methylation has been associated with regulation of the preferential expression of paternal or maternal alleles of imprinted genes.

Genomic Imprinting in the New Omics Era: A Model for Systems-Level Approaches
Genomic imprinting represents a noteworthy inheritance mechanism leading to allele-specific regulations dependent of the parental origin. Imprinted loci are especially involved in essential mammalian functions related to growth, development and behavior.
