Abstract excerpt
STUDY QUESTION: How does haploinsufficiency of the paternal-effect gene Dnmt3L affect DNA methylation establishment and stability in the male germline? SUMMARY ANSWER: Reduced expression of DNMT3L in male germ cells, associated with haploinsufficiency of the paternal-effect gene Dnmt3L, results in abnormal hypomethylation of prenatal germline progenitor cells. WHAT IS KNOWN ALREADY: The DNA methyltransferase...
