The Effect of Preconception Paternal Alcohol Exposure on Epigenetic Remodeling of the H19 and Rasgrf1 Imprinting Control Regions in Mouse Offspring
1 Jan 2012
Abstract excerpt
Imprinted loci play a critical role in fetal development. Their expression is often regulated by CCCTC-binding factor (CTCF) protein binding at imprinting control regions (ICRs). Prenatal alcohol exposure has been shown to reduce global DNA methylation in the developing mouse fetus. This study explored the effect of preconception paternal alcohol exposure on DNA methylation at two paternally methylated ICRs (H19...
