Abstract excerpt
It has been shown previously that homozygous and compound-heterozygous variants affecting protein function in the human NLRP genes impact reproduction and/or fetal imprinting patterns. These variants represent so-called 'maternal effect mutations', that is, although female variant carriers are healthy, they are at risk of reproductive failure, and their offspring may develop aberrant methylation and imprinting...
