Allele-specific Methylation of Imprinted Genes in Fetal Cord Blood is Influenced By Cis-Acting Genetic Variants and Parental Factors
21 Sept 2018
Abstract excerpt
AIM: To examine the effects of genetic variation, parental age and BMI on parental allele-specific methylation of imprinted genes in fetal cord blood samples. METHODOLOGY: We have developed SNP genotyping and deep bisulphite sequencing assays for six imprinted genes to determine parental allele-specific methylation patterns in diploid somatic tissues. RESULTS: Multivariate linear regression analyses revealed a...
