Very small deletions within the NESP55 gene in pseudohypoparathyroidism type 1b
Pseudohypoparathyroidism (PHP) is caused by reduced expression of genes within the GNAS cluster, resulting in parathormone resistance. The cluster contains multiple imprinted transcripts, including the stimulatory G protein α subunit (Gs-α) and NESP55 ...

Olfaction scaffolds the developing human from neonate to adolescent and beyond [PDF]
The impact of the olfactory sense is regularly apparent across development. The foetus is bathed in amniotic fluid that conveys the mother’s chemical ecology.

Profiling allele-specific gene expression in brains from individuals with autism spectrum disorder reveals preferential minor allele usage. [PDF]
One fundamental but understudied mechanism of gene regulation in disease is allele-specific expression (ASE), the preferential expression of one allele.

The impact of assisted reproductive technologies on genomic imprinting and imprinting disorders [PDF]
Genomic imprinting refers to preferential allele-specific gene expression. DNA methylation-based molecular mechanisms regulate establishment and maintenance of parental imprints during early embryo development and gametogenesis. Because of the coincident timing, a potential association between assisted reproductive technology (ART) procedures and ...

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 ...

Clinical spectrum and management of imprinting disorders
Imprinting disorders are exceptional within the group of monogenic syndromes. They are associated with molecular changes affecting imprinted regions and usually do not follow the rules of Mendelian inheritance.

Translational control of auditory imprinting and structural plasticity by eIF2α
The formation of imprinted memories during a critical period is crucial for vital behaviors, including filial attachment. Yet, little is known about the underlying molecular mechanisms.

Human imprinting disorders: Principles, practice, problems and progress.
Epigenetic regulation orchestrates gene expression with exquisite precision, over a huge dynamic range and across developmental space and time, permitting genomically-homogeneous humans to develop and adapt to their surroundings. Every generation, these epigenetic marks are re-set twice: in the germline, to enable differentiation of sperm and eggs, and
