Abstract excerpt
The 10q22 chromosomal region with genomic linkage to pre-eclampsia in Dutch females shows a parent-of-origin effect with maternal transmission of the Y153H susceptibility allele of the STOX1 gene. Although the CpG island within the STOX1 promoter region shows no differential methylation, this study describes the identification of a differentially methylated region (DMR) in intron 1 of the STOX1 gene. Methylation...
