Alterations to DNA structure as a cause of expression modifications of selected genes of known intrauterine‐growth‐restriction‐association shared by chosen species — a review

Abstract excerpt

The review aimed at searching for DNA structure markers of epigenetic modifications leading to intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR) in three livestock species, mouse and human. IUGR affects mammals by harming their wellbeing and the profitability of breeding enterprises. Of the livestock species, we chose cow, pig and sheep owing to there being many reports on the epigenetics of IUGR. IUGR investigations in...
