Imprinting and Promoter Usage of Insulin-Like Growth Factor II in Twin Discordant Placenta by Yan-Min Luo, Qun Fang, Hui-Juan Shi, Lin-Huan Huang, Run-Cai Liang, Guang-Lun Zhuang

“…Case reports from infant twins suggest that abnormal genomic imprinting may be one of the important causes of twin discordance, but it is unknown whether abnormal genomic imprinting occurs in the placenta. …”

Three Siblings with Prader-Willi Syndrome: Brief Review of Sleep and Prader-Willi Syndrome by Arina Bingeliene, Colin M. Shapiro, Sharon A. Chung

“…PWS is the first human disorder to be attributed to genomic imprinting. Prevalence varies in the literature, ranging from 1 in 8,000 in the Swedish population to 1 in 54,000 in the United Kingdom. …”

Heterosis: current advances in the search for molecular mechanisms by M. N. Shapturenko, L. V. Khotyleva

“…Several studies have been conducted to clarify the role of epigenetic DNA modification and genomic imprinting in the manifestation of heterosis. Taken together, data indicates that heterosis cannot been explained by a single common mechanism, because this complex phenomenon involves many components, a cumulative effect of which leads to the formation of an outstanding phenotype.…”

Parental conflicts and resource sharing: Evolutionary trade-off by Ruby Dhar, Arun Kumar, Subhradip Karmakar

“…There is a hypothetical scenario in which parents can influence gene expression in embryos directly. Similar to genomic imprinting, this may happen as a result of sexual selection in males competing with other males to gain more resources for their offspring from their mothers. …”

Targeting of retrovirus-derived Rtl8a/8b causes late-onset obesity, reduced social response and increased apathy-like behaviour by Yoshifumi Fujioka, Hirosuke Shiura, Masayuki Ishii, Ryuichi Ono, Tsutomu Endo, Hiroshi Kiyonari, Yoshikazu Hirate, Hikaru Ito, Masami Kanai-Azuma, Takashi Kohda, Tomoko Kaneko-Ishino, Fumitoshi Ishino

“…Here, we demonstrate that Rtl8a and Rtl8b play important roles in the brain: their double knockout (DKO) mice not only exhibit reduced social responses and increased apathy-like behaviour, but also become obese from young adulthood, similar to patients with late Prader–Willi syndrome (PWS), a neurodevelopmental genomic imprinting disorder. Mouse RTL8A/8B proteins are expressed in the prefrontal cortex and hypothalamus and localize to both the nucleus and cytoplasm of neurons, presumably due to the N-terminal nuclear localization signal-like sequence at the N-terminus. …”

Generation of live mice from haploid ESCs with germline-DMR deletions or switch by Yongjian Ma, Meng Yan, Zhenfei Xie, Hongling Zhang, Zhoujie Li, Yuanyuan Li, Suming Yang, Meiling Zhang, Wen Li, Jinsong Li

“…Abstract Genomic imprinting is required for sexual reproduction and embryonic development of mammals, in which, differentially methylated regions (DMRs) regulate the parent-specific monoallelic expression of imprinted genes. …”
