An <i>Nlrp5</i> -null mutation leads to attenuated <i>de novo</i> methylation in oocytes, accompanied by a significant reduction in DNMT3L
2025-02-23
Abstract excerpt
Nlrp5 encodes a core component of the subcortical maternal complex (SCMC) a cytoplasmic protein structure unique to the mammalian oocyte and cleavage-stage embryo. NLRP5 mutations have been identified in patients presenting with early embryo arrest, recurrent molar pregnancies and imprinting disorders. Correct patterning of DNA methylation over imprinted domains during oogenesis is necessary for faithful imprinti...
