Methods for detecting interactions between imprinted genes and environmental exposures using birth cohort designs with mother-offspring pairs.

Abstract excerpt

Genomic imprinting is a form of epigenetic regulation in mammals in which the same allele of a gene is expressed differently depending on the parental origin of the allele. Traditionally, the detection of imprinted genes that affect complex diseases has been focused on linkage designs with pedigrees or case-parent designs with case-parent trios. In the past two decades, the birth cohort design with...
