Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Genomic imprinting at the 11p15.5 region is critically involved in fetal growth regulation. Disturbances in this region are primarily associated with two opposing growth disorders: Silver-Russell syndrome (SRS, growth restriction) and Beckwith-Wiedemann syndrome (BWS, overgrowth). While epigenetic alterations are well-characterized in SRS and BWS, copy number variants (CNVs) rearrangements remain...
