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
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 ...

Imprinting disorders in humans: a review. [PDF]
Purpose of review Mammals have two complete sets of chromosomes, one from each parent with equal autosomal gene expression. Less than one percentage of human genes are imprinted or show expression from only one parent without changing gene structure, usually by DNA methylation, but reversible in gametogenesis.

Mechanisms controlling genomic imprinting and their dysregulation in human imprinting disorders
International audienceImprinted genes play a pivotal role in regulating growth, development, and behavior through parent-of-originspecific expression. This allelic specificity is orchestrated by "imprinting control regions" (ICRs), which depend on DNA ...

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,

Culture-dependent decoupling of H19 allele-specific expression from H19/IGF2:IG-DMR methylation in experimental models [PDF]
Genomic imprinting is an epigenetic mechanism leading to the monoallelic expression of a subset of genes, mainly regulated by DNA methylation at imprinting control regions (ICRs).

Novel epigenetic molecular therapies for imprinting disorders. [PDF]
AbstractGenomic imprinting disorders are caused by the disruption of genomic imprinting processes leading to a deficit or increase of an active allele. Their unique molecular mechanisms underlying imprinted genes offer an opportunity to investigate epigenetic-based therapy for reactivation of an inactive allele or reduction of an active allele. Current
