Differentially Methylated Regions of Imprinted Genes in Prenatal, Perinatal and Postnatal Human Tissues
13 Jul 2012
Abstract excerpt
Epigenetic plasticity in relation to in utero exposures may mechanistically explain observed differences in the likelihood of developing common complex diseases including hypertension, diabetes and cardiovascular disease through the cumulative effects of subtle alterations in gene expression. Imprinted genes are essential mediators of growth and development and are characterized by differentially methylated...
