Obesity-related DNA methylation at imprinted genes in human sperm: Results from the TIEGER study
6 May 2016
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Epigenetic reprogramming in mammalian gametes resets methylation marks that regulate monoallelic expression of imprinted genes. In males, this involves erasure of the maternal methylation marks and establishment of paternal-specific methylation to appropriately guide normal development. The degree to which exogenous factors influence the fidelity of methylation reprogramming is unknown. We previously...
