Clinical characteristics and epilepsy in genomic imprinting disorders: Angelman syndrome and Prader-Willi syndrome. [PDF]
Angelman syndrome (AS) and Prader–Willi syndrome (PWS) are considered sister imprinting disorders. Although both AS and PWS congenital neurodevelopmental disorders have chromosome 15q11.3-q13 dysfunction, their molecular mechanisms differ owing to ...

Transcriptional profiling at the DLK1/MEG3 domain explains clinical overlap between imprinting disorders. [PDF]
Temple or Silver-Russell syndrome? We reveal the molecular reasons for the clinical resemblance between these two syndromes. Imprinting disorders (IDs) often affect growth in humans, leading to diseases with overlapping features, regardless of the ...

Congenital imprinting disorders: EUCID.net - a network to decipher their aetiology and to improve the diagnostic and clinical care. [PDF]
Imprinting disorders (IDs) are a group of eight rare but probably underdiagnosed congenital diseases affecting growth, development and metabolism. They are caused by similar molecular changes affecting regulation, dosage or the genomic sequence of ...

Molecular and Clinical Opposite Findings in 11p15.5 Associated Imprinting Disorders: Characterization of Basic Mechanisms to Improve Clinical Management. [PDF]
Silver–Russell and Beckwith–Wiedemann syndromes (SRS, BWS) are rare congenital human disorders characterized by opposite growth disturbances. With the increasing knowledge on the molecular basis of SRS and BWS, it has become obvious that the disorders ...

ImprintCap, a powerful NGS-based technology to investigate the molecular background of imprinting disorders [PDF]
Introduction Imprinting disorders (IDs) are a rare class of diseases caused by the disruption of imprinted genes, i.e., genes with a specific pattern of expression from only one allele.

EMQN best practice guidelines for the molecular genetic testing and reporting of chromosome 11p15 imprinting disorders: Silver–Russell and Beckwith–Wiedemann syndrome [PDF]
Molecular genetic testing for the 11p15-associated imprinting disorders Silver–Russell and Beckwith–Wiedemann syndrome (SRS, BWS) is challenging because of the molecular heterogeneity and complexity of the affected imprinted regions.

Imprinting disorders: a group of congenital disorders with overlapping patterns of molecular changes affecting imprinted loci [PDF]
Congenital imprinting disorders (IDs) are characterised by molecular changes affecting imprinted chromosomal regions and genes, i.e. genes that are expressed in a parent-of-origin specific manner.

Mutations in NLRP5 are associated with reproductive wastage and multilocus imprinting disorders in humans. [PDF]
Human-imprinting disorders are congenital disorders of growth, development and metabolism, associated with disturbance of parent of origin-specific DNA methylation at imprinted loci across the genome.
