Abstract excerpt
In the present study, it was hypothesized that disruption of imprinting control in the H19/Igf2 domain may be a mechanism of ethanol-induced growth retardation-a key clinical feature of the fetal alcohol spectrum disorders (FASD). To test this prediction, genomic bisulphite sequencing was carried out on 473 bp of the H19 imprinting control region in DNA obtained from midgestation F(1) hybrid mouse embryos...
