Genetic Syndromes and Imprinting
Genetic Syndromes and Imprinting is a research topic within Genetics. Science Explorer counts 22k research works in it since 1950. 21.0% of them reached the world's top 10% most cited for their field and year.
This cluster of papers explores the phenomenon of genomic imprinting, where certain genes are expressed in a parent-of-origin-specific manner. It covers topics such as parental influence on gene expression, epigenetic regulation through DNA methylation, and the role of imprinted genes in syndromes like Prader-Willi and Angelman. Additionally, it delves into the mechanisms of imprint control regions and the involvement of non-coding RNA in regulating imprinted gene networks.
