Genomic imprinting is essential for normal placental and fetal growth. One theory to explain
the evolution of imprinting is the kinship theory (KT), which predicts that genes that are …

Identifying the genetic input for fetal growth will help to understand common, serious
complications of pregnancy such as fetal growth restriction. Genomic imprinting is an …

Experimental studies showed that genomic imprinting is fundamental in fetoplacental
development by timely regulating the expression of the imprinted genes to overlook a set of …

As a field of study, genomic imprinting has grown rapidly in the last 20 years, with a growing
figure of around 100 imprinted genes known in the mouse and approximately 50 in the …

The discovery of genomic imprinting through studies of manipulated mouse embryos
indicated that the paternal genome has a major influence on placental development …

The importance of imprinted genes in regulating feto-placental development has been long
established. However, a comprehensive assessment of the role of placental imprinted gene …

A subset of mammalian genes is subject to genomic imprinting. These imprinted genes
show parent of origin specific monoallelic or parental allele-biased expression, such that for …

Imprinted genes are expressed monoallelically depending on their parental origin. High
expression of the majority of imprinted genes tested to date has been demonstrated in …

Genomic imprinting is an epigenetic phenomenon that results in monoallelic gene
expression according to parental origin. It has long been established that imprinted genes …

Genomic imprinting has a special role in placental biology. Imprinted genes are often
strongly expressed in the placenta, and the allelic expression bias due to imprinting is …
