Abstract excerpt
Genomic imprinting is an epigenetic phenomenon that leads to genes monoallelically expressed in a parent-of-origin-specific manner and plays an important role in the embryonic development and postnatal growth of mammals. Imprinted genes usually occur in clusters in a chromosomal region and are regulated by a cis-acting imprinting control region that involves differential DNA methylation modification. Igf2r,...
