Genomic Imprinting [PDF]

, 2016
BACKGROUND: Genomic imprinting is the inheritance out of Mendelian borders. Many of inherited diseases and human development violates Mendelian law of inheritance, this way of inheriting is studied by epigenetics.AIM: The aim of this review is to analyze

Genomic imprinting defects in the growth disorder Beckwith-Wiedemann syndrome [PDF]

, 2009
The imprinting control region (IC1) of the human IGF2 and H19 genes is represented by a chromatin insulator located between the two genes that prevents the activation of IGF2 and allows the activation of H19 on the maternal chromosome. Deletions removing

Parent-of-origin effects cause genetic variation in pig performance traits

Animal, 2010
In order to assess the relative importance of genomic imprinting for the genetic variation of traits economically relevant for pork production, a data set containing 21 209 records from Large White pigs was analysed.

The Evolutionary Advantage in Mammals of the Complementary Monoallelic Expression Mechanism of Genomic Imprinting and Its Emergence From a Defense Against the Insertion Into the Host Genome

Frontiers in Genetics, 2022
In viviparous mammals, genomic imprinting regulates parent-of-origin-specific monoallelic expression of paternally and maternally expressed imprinted genes (PEGs and MEGs) in a region-specific manner.

Imprinting and its disorders in evolutionary perspective

Acta Medica Lituanica, 2014
Bacground. Genomic imprinting is one of the best-studied epigenetic phenomena involving all the main epigenetic processes. Recent investigations led to a huge expansion of knowledge in this field and changed some established paradigms regarding ...

Placental imprinting: Emerging mechanisms and functions.

PLoS Genetics, 2020
As the maternal-foetal interface, the placenta is essential for the establishment and progression of healthy pregnancy, regulating both foetal growth and maternal adaptation to pregnancy.

Zfp57 mutant ES cell lines directly derived from blastocysts

Stem Cell Research, 2016
Zfp57 is a master regulator of genomic imprinting in mouse embryos. To further test its functions, we have derived multiple Zfp57 mutant ES clones directly from mouse blastocysts.

Human Reproduction and Disturbed Genomic Imprinting. [PDF]

Genes (Basel)
Genomic imprinting is a specific mode of gene regulation which particularly accounts for the factors involved in development. Its disturbance affects the fetus, the course of pregnancy and even the health of the mother.

Technical advances contribute to the study of genomic imprinting.

PLoS Genetics, 2019
Genomic imprinting in mammals was discovered over 30 years ago through elegant embryological and genetic experiments in mice. Imprinted genes show a monoallelic and parent of origin-specific expression pattern; the development of techniques that can ...
