The importance of imprinting in the human placenta. [PDF]
As a field of study, genomic imprinting has grown rapidly in the last 20 years, with a growing figure of around 100 imprinted genes known in the mouse and approximately 50 in the human. The imprinted expression of genes may be transient and highly tissue-

Association between imprinting disorders and assisted reproductive technologies. [PDF]
Aberrant expression of imprinted genes results in imprinting disorders (IDs). Differentially methylated regions (DMRs) reveal parental-origin-specific DNA methylation on CpGs and regulate the expression of the imprinted genes. One etiology of IDs is epimutation (epi-IDs) induced by some error in the establishment or maintenance of methylation imprint ...

Uniparental Disomy and Imprinting Disorders [PDF]
Uniparental disomy (UPD), the inheritance of both homologues of a chromosome from only one parent, has been reported for nearly all human chromosomes. Depending on its mode of formation and time of occurrence, UPD can be present in all cells of an organism, or restricted to some cell lines as a mosaic UPD.

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 ...

Recommendations for a nomenclature system for reporting methylation aberrations in imprinted domains
The analysis of DNA methylation has become routine in the pipeline for diagnosis of imprinting disorders, with many publications reporting aberrant methylation associated with imprinted differentially methylated regions (DMRs).
