Characterization of DNA methylation errors in patients with imprinting disorders conceived by assisted reproduction technologies.
BACKGROUND There is an increased incidence of rare imprinting disorders associated with assisted reproduction technologies (ARTs). The identification of epigenetic changes at imprinted loci in ART infants has led to the suggestion that the techniques themselves may predispose embryos to acquire imprinting errors and diseases. However, it is still unknown at what point(s) these imprinting errors...
متن کاملImprinting disorders after assisted reproductive technologies.
PURPOSE OF REVIEW To assess the evidence of an increased risk of imprinting diseases in children born after use of assisted reproductive technologies. RECENT FINDINGS Imprinting disorders occur when the epigenetic programming during gametogenesis is disturbed, or when this programming is not sufficiently sustained during the process of fertilization and early embryonic development. Ten case o...
متن کاملA systematic review and meta-analysis of DNA methylation levels and imprinting disorders in children conceived by IVF/ICSI compared with children conceived spontaneously.
BACKGROUND Increasing numbers of children are being conceived by assisted reproductive technology (ART). A number of studies have highlighted an altered epigenetic status in gametes from infertile couples and the possibility of an increased risk of imprinting defects and somatic epigenetic changes in ART conceived children, but the results have been heterogeneous. We performed a systematic revi...
