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.

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 ...

Syndromic Disorders Caused by Disturbed Human Imprinting
Imprinting disorders are a group of congenital diseases caused by dysregulation of genomic imprinting, affecting prenatal and postnatal growth, neurocognitive development, metabolism and cancer predisposition.

What to consider when pseudohypoparathyroidism is ruled out: iPPSD and differential diagnosis
Background Pseudohypoparathyroidism (PHP) is a rare disease whose phenotypic features are rather difficult to identify in some cases. Thus, although these patients may present with the Albright’s hereditary osteodystrophy (AHO) phenotype, which is ...

Imprinting disorders and assisted reproductive technology [PDF]
To summarize current evidence in the association of imprinting disorders and assisted reproductive technology.The worldwide usage of assisted reproductive technology (ART) has continued to increase since the first successful birth of a human after IVF. Since 2002, several reports have raised concerns that children conceived by ART are at increased risk

Paternal obesity is associated with IGF2 hypomethylation in newborns: results from a Newborn Epigenetics Study (NEST) cohort [PDF]
Data from epidemiological and animal model studies suggest that nutrition during pregnancy may affect the health status of subsequent generations. These transgenerational effects are now being explained by disruptions at the level of the epigenetic ...

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 ...

DNA methylation and DNA methyltransferases [PDF]
The prevailing views as to the form, function, and regulation of genomic methylation patterns have their origin many years in the past, at a time when the structure of the mammalian genome was only dimly perceived, when the number of protein-encoding ...

Birth seasonality studies in a large Prader-Willi syndrome cohort. [PDF]
Prader-Willi syndrome (PWS) is generally due to sporadic paternal deletions of the chromosome 15q11-q13 region followed by maternal disomy 15. Advanced maternal age is more commonly seen in those with maternal disomy 15. Environmental factors (e.g., drug
