Epigenetic change in IGF2R is associated with fetal overgrowth after sheep embryo culture

L E Young et al. Nat Genet. 2001 Feb.

Abstract

Manipulation or non-physiological embryo culture environments can lead to defective fetal programming in livestock. Our demonstration of reduced fetal methylation and expression of ovine IGF2R suggests pre-implantation embryo procedures may be vulnerable to epigenetic alterations in imprinted genes. This highlights the potential benefits of epigenetic diagnostic screening in developing embryo procedures.
