Epigenetics and human disease: translating basic biology into clinical applications
D Rodenhiser, M Mann - Cmaj, 2006 - Can Med Assoc
Epigenetics refers to the study of heritable changes in gene expression that occur without a
change in DNA sequence. Research has shown that epigenetic mechanisms provide an" …

Disruption of the imprinted Grb10 gene leads to disproportionate overgrowth by an Igf2-independent mechanism
M Charalambous, FM Smith… - Proceedings of the …, 2003 - National Acad Sciences
To investigate the function of the Grb10 adapter protein, we have generated mice in which
the Grb10 gene was disrupted by a gene-trap insertion. Our experiments confirm that Grb10 …
