Strain‐specific vulnerability to alcohol exposure in utero via hippocampal parent‐of‐origin expression of deiodinase‐III
23 Mar 2011
Abstract excerpt
Prenatal exposure to alcohol is thought to be the most prevalent nongenetic cause of a wide range of neurodevelopmental deficits. Insufficient thyroid hormone levels are one mechanism that hampers development of the alcohol-exposed brain, and we hypothesized that altered dosage of the imprinted thyroid hormone-inactivating gene deiodinase-III (Dio3) is responsible. To follow parent-of-origin allelic expression of...
