The impact of assisted reproductive technologies on genomic imprinting and imprinting disorders
22 Apr 2014
Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE OF REVIEW: Genomic imprinting refers to preferential allele-specific gene expression. DNA methylation-based molecular mechanisms regulate establishment and maintenance of parental imprints during early embryo development and gametogenesis. Because of the coincident timing, a potential association between assisted reproductive technology (ART) procedures and imprinting defects has been investigated in...
