Genomic Imprinting: Causes and Consequences
Editorial Reviews
Review
'... a fully referenced and authoritative source for those who wish to understand the key issues of genomic imprinting ... this could prove an excellent start ... genomic (gametic) imprinting is not just a curiosity that is going to 'go away'; it goes to the very heart of the regulation of gene expression. This 1994 Nobel Symposium collection of papers is a first rate base from which to read some of the more recent papers ... and then follow the story unfold'. Marcus Pembrey, Journal of Medical Ethics
'... a valuable resource for everyone interested in the field of genomic imprinting'. Dr K. Devriendt, Genetic Counselling
'... good to have on your bookshelf if your laboratory or institution has an interest in imprinting, as a quick reference to a rapidly expanding field'. Keith Brown, Heredity
Book Description
Genomic imprinting results in the preferential expression of one gene, depending on the parent of origin, and it is associated with several disease syndromes in humans. This book covers a wealth of research material on chromatin structure, epigenetics, clinical genetics, developmental biology, cancer, hypotheses of evolution, and the molecular basis of the imprinting process, which will help explain not only the mechanisms of genomic imprinting, but also its biological and medical consequences.
