Sex- and diet-specific changes of imprinted gene expression and DNA methylation in mouse placenta under a high-fat diet.
<h4>Background</h4>Changes in imprinted gene dosage in the placenta may compromise the prenatal control of nutritional resources. Indeed monoallelic behaviour and sensitivity to changes in regional epigenetic state render imprinted genes both vulnerable and adaptable.<h4>Methods an...
