With the increasing use of assisted reproductive techniques (ART) every year, concerns
have been raised regarding the possible effect these procedures have on the health of the …

Introduction The aim of this study is to determine whether the gene expression and
associated DNA methylation regulation of H19 and IGF2 are altered in placentas conceived …

DNA methylation at H19 ICR1 was investigated in the placenta from pregnancies conceived
by in vitro fertilization, intracytoplasmic sperm injection, and from natural conception. Our …

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate epigenetic risks linked to assisted reproductive technologies (ART)
by determining the methylation status of the IGF2/H19 imprinting control region (ICR) in …

Objective Genomic imprinting refers to differential expression of genes of paternal versus
maternal inheritance. Recent literature, demonstrated that imprinting disorders may be …

Objective To investigate DNA methylation at the KvDMR1, PLAGL1 and PEG10 differentially
methylated regions (DMRs) and the repetitive LINE-1 element in cord blood (CB) and …

DNA methylation is a biochemical process that modifies gene expression without changing
the underlying DNA sequence, and this represents the molecular basis for imprinting and …

Infertility affects one in 6 couples in developed nations, resulting in an increasing use of
assisted reproductive technologies (ART). Both ART and subfertility appear to be linked to …

Epidemiological studies have reported a higher incidence of rare disorders involving
imprinted genes among children conceived using assisted reproductive technology (ART) …

Introduction: The use of assisted reproductive technologies (ART), namely in-vitro
fertilization (IVF) and intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI), has recently caused concerns …
