Unaltered imprinting establishment of key imprinted genes in mouse oocytes after in vitro follicle culture under variable follicle-stimulating hormone exposure
1 Jan 2009
Abstract excerpt
Imprinted genes are differentially methylated during gametogenesis to allow parental-specific monoallelic expression of genes. During mouse oogenesis, DNA methylation at imprinted genes is established during the transition from primordial to antral follicle stages. Studies in human and mouse suggest aberrant imprinting in oocytes following in vitro maturation and after superovulation with high doses of...
