An association between assisted reproduction technologies (ART) and abnormal genomic
imprinting in humans has been recognized for several years; however, the magnitude of this …

There has been an increase in incidence reports of rare imprinting disorders associated with
assisted reproductive technology (ART). ART, including in vitro fertilization and …

The current data suggest an association between imprinting disorders and ART although the
absolute risk appears to be low. However, animal studies have established biologic …

Worldwide use of assisted reproductive technology (ART) accounts for an estimated 1 to 3%
of births. Since 2002, a series of reports have suggested an increased risk of imprinting …

Epigenetic modification controls gene activity without changes in the DNA sequence. The
genome undergoes several phases of epigenetic programming during gametogenesis and …

There have been several reports of an increased risk of genomic imprinting disorders
associated with assisted reproductive technology (ART). However, the connection between …

ART procedures may affect methylation status of imprinted regions in the DNA, leading to
imprinting disorders. Although the low prevalence of imprinting disorders makes it …

BACKGROUND There is an increased incidence of rare imprinting disorders associated with
assisted reproduction technologies (ARTs). The identification of epigenetic changes at …

Background Human-assisted reproductive technologies (ART) are a widely accepted
treatment for infertile couples. At the same time, many studies have suggested the …

BACKGROUND: Recent reports have suggested a higher risk of Beckwith–Wiedemann
