Published 10/14/2024 Imprinted genes tend to be {{c1::clustered}} in the genome and under the control of discrete DNA elements called {{c1::imprinting centers (ICs)}}
Published 10/14/2024 Genomic imprinting involves the {{c1::silencing}} of either the maternal or paternal copy of a gene during early development, such that the expresson …
Published 10/14/2024 When a gene is imprinted, it is , {{c1::hemizygous}} at that locus
Published 10/14/2024 What types of genetic changes cause imprinting disorders? (4)
Published 10/14/2024 Most genes {{c1::are not}} imprinted
Published 10/14/2024 Silencing of imprinted genes is the result of {{c1::DNA methylation}}
Published 10/14/2024 Genomic imprinting is {{c1::established}} in germline cells and {{c1::maintained}} in all somatic cells
Published 10/14/2024 Imprinting occurs during {{c1::gametogenesis}}, so that correct alleles are imprinted before the fusion of gametes
Published 10/14/2024 All gametes are imprinted according to the {{c1::biological sex}} of the individual
Published 10/14/2024 Females imprint {{c1::maternally}} imprinted genes in all egg cells
Published 10/14/2024 Males imprint {{c1::paternally}} imprinted genes in all sperm cells
Published 10/14/2024 {{c1::Imprinting centers}} control the coordinated imprinting of genes within an imprinted domain
Published 10/14/2024 {{c1::PWS-SRO}} prevents the paternal alleles from being silenced
Published 10/14/2024 {{c1::AS-SRO}} prevents maternal alleles from being silenced
Published 10/14/2024 PWS-SRO deletions lead to an incorrect imprint on the {{c1::paternal}} chromosome, and therefore a child with PWS, when inherited from a {{c1::male}}
Published 10/14/2024 PWS-SRO deletions are without any phenotypic effect in {{c1::female}} germ line
Published 10/14/2024 AS-SRO deletions are without any phenotypic effect in {{c1::male}} germ line
Published 10/14/2024 PWS-SRO deletions lead to an incorrect imprint on the {{c1::maternal}} chromosome, and therefore a child with AS, when inherited from a {{c1::female}}
Published 10/14/2024 Diagnosis of imprinting disorders being with {{c1::DNA methylation}} analysis. If nothing is uncovered, it moves to {{c1::oligo + SNP array}}
