Molecular testing for imprinting disorders [PDF]
AbstractImprinting disorders are a group of rare diseases with a broad phenotypic spectrum caused by a wide variety of genetic and epigenetic disturbances of imprinted genes or gene clusters. The molecular genetic causes and their respective frequencies vary between the different imprinting disorders so that each has its unique requirements for the ...

Prenatal testing for Imprinting Disorders: A clinical perspective
AbstractImprinting Disorders (ImpDis) are a group of congenital conditions caused by aberrant imprinting resulting in disturbed expression of parentally imprinted genes. ImpDis are rarely associated with major malformations, but pre‐ and/or postnatal growth and nutrition are often affected.

Imprinting and its disorders in evolutionary perspective
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 ...

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).

Modeling human epigenetic disorders in mice: Beckwith-Wiedemann syndrome and Silver-Russell syndrome
Genomic imprinting, a phenomenon in which the two parental alleles are regulated differently, is observed in mammals, marsupials and a few other species, including seed-bearing plants. Dysregulation of genomic imprinting can cause developmental disorders

Effects of reprogramming on genomic imprinting and the application of pluripotent stem cells
Pluripotent stem cells are considered to be the ideal candidates for cell-based therapies in humans. In this regard, both nuclear transfer embryonic stem (ntES) cells and induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells are particularly advantageous because patient ...

CRISPR/Cas9 Epigenome Editing Potential for Rare Imprinting Diseases: A Review
Imprinting diseases (IDs) are rare congenital disorders caused by aberrant dosages of imprinted genes. Rare IDs are comprised by a group of several distinct disorders that share a great deal of homology in terms of genetic etiologies and symptoms ...
