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 ...

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-

Tissue-specific and minor inter-individual variation in imprinting of IGF2R is a common feature of Bos taurus concepti and not correlated with fetal weight [PDF]
The insulin-like growth factor 2 receptor (IGF2R) is essential for prenatal growth regulation and shows gene dosage effects on fetal weight that can be affected by in-vitro embryo culture.

Deciphering the genetic and epigenetic basis of human imprinting and chromatin disorders [PDF]
Aberrant DNA methylation patterns, including disturbances in genomic imprinting, have been linked to congenital imprinting disorders as well as various disease conditions, including cancer, chromatin disorders, and neurodevelopmental disorders.

Genomic imprinting defects in the growth disorder Beckwith-Wiedemann syndrome [PDF]
The imprinting control region (IC1) of the human IGF2 and H19 genes is represented by a chromatin insulator located between the two genes that prevents the activation of IGF2 and allows the activation of H19 on the maternal chromosome. Deletions removing

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

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).

Pragmatic disorders and their social impact [PDF]
Pragmatic disorders in children and adults have been the focus of clinical investigations for approximately 40 years. In that time, clinicians and researchers have established a diverse range of pragmatic phenomena that are disrupted in these disorders ...
