The genetic influences on human growth are being increasingly deciphered. Silver–Russell
and Beckwith–Wiedemann syndromes (SRS; BWS) are two relatively common genetic …

Silver-Russell syndrome (SRS) and Beckwith-Wiedemann syndrome (BWS) are 2 clinically
opposite growth-affecting disorders belonging to the group of congenital imprinting …

Human growth is a complex process that requires the appropriate interaction of many
players. Central members in the growth pathways are regulated epigenetically and thereby …

Genomic imprinting is an epigenetic phenomenon resulting in differential expression of
maternal and paternal alleles of a subset of genes. In the mouse, mutation of imprinted …

Human growth is a complex process and requires the appropriate interaction of many
members. Central members in the growth axes are regulated epigenetically and thereby …

Genomic imprinting, a process of epigenetic modification which allows the gene to be
expressed in a parent-of-origin specific manner, has an essential role in normal growth and …

Epigenetic mechanisms play a key role in regulating gene expression. One of the best-
studied epigenetic modifications is DNA methylation at cytosine residues of CpG …
