Multilocus methylation defects in imprinting disorders
Mammals inherit two complete sets of chromosomes, one from the father and one from the mother, and most autosomal genes are expressed from both maternal and paternal alleles. In imprinted genes, the expression of the allele is dependent upon its parental

Role of ART in Imprinting Disorders [PDF]
Assisted reproductive technologies (ART) offer revolutionary infertility treatments for millions of childless couples around the world. Currently, ART accounts for 1 to 3% of annual births in industrialized countries and continues to expand rapidly. Except for an increased incidence of premature births, these technologies are considered safe.

Recent Advances in imprinting disorders [PDF]
Imprinting disorders (ImpDis) are a group of currently twelve congenital diseases with common underlying (epi)genetic aetiologies and overlapping clinical features affecting growth, development and metabolism. In the last years it has emerged that ms are

Imprinting alterations in sperm may not significantly influence ART outcomes and imprinting patterns in the cord blood of offspring. [PDF]
An increase in imprinting disorders in children conceived though assisted reproductive technologies (ARTs) has been the subject of several reports. The transmission of imprinting errors from the sperm of infertile fathers is believed to be a possible ...

Background Beckwith‐Wiedemann syndrome and Silver‐Russel syndrome are two imprinting disorders caused by opposite molecular alterations in 11p15.5. With the current diagnostic tests, their molecular diagnosis is challenging due to molecular heterogeneity

Recent Advances in Imprinting Disorders
Genetic imprinting is a biological phenomenon arising from the fact that maternal and paternal contributions to the offspring’s autosomal genes have specific markers or imprints.

Disturbed methylation at multiple imprinted loci : an increasing observation in imprinting disorders
The widely accepted association between aberrant methylation at specific imprinted loci and distinct imprinting disorders has recently been brought into question by the identification of methylation defects at multiple loci (multilocus methylation ...

First step towards a consensus strategy for multi-locus diagnostic testing of imprinting disorders. [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Imprinting disorders, which affect growth, development, metabolism and neoplasia risk, are caused by genetic or epigenetic changes to genes that are expressed from only one parental allele. Disease may result from changes in coding sequences,

Genomic imprinting and human chromosome 15
Genomic imprinting is a reversible phenomenon that affects the expression of genes depending on their parental origin. The best characterized human disorders resulting from an alteration of the imprinting process are Angelman and Prader-Willi syndromes ...
