| Research Abstract |
We have attempted to clarify underlying (epi)genetic mechanisms and clinical characteristics in human imprinting disorders. Representative results in uniparental disomy for chromosome 14 (upd(14)pat) and its related disorders include:
(1) clarification of underlying causes and establishment of molecular approaches;
(2) risk assessment of the advanced maternal childbearing age in the development of monosomy-rescue type upd(14)pat;
(3) identification of the imprinting centers in the body and the placenta and that of the most causative gene in the phenotypic development;
(4) repressor effects of maternally expressed RTL1as-encoded microRNAs on the paternally expressed RTL1 expression;
(5) clarification of the characteristics of the placental histopathology;
and (6) establishment of radiological diagnostic clues.
Representative results in Prader-Willi syndrome (PWS) include:
(1) clarification of underlying causes and establishment of molecular approaches;
(2) risk assessment of the advanced maternal childbearing age in the development of trisomy-rescue type upd(15)mat;
and (3) risk assessment of the medially assisted reproduction in the development of PWS.
Representative results in Silver-Russell syndrome (SRS) include:
(1) clarification of underlying causes and establishment of molecular approaches;
and (2) establishment of detailed (epi)genotype-phenotype correlations.
Furthermore, we identified a parthenogenetic chimera and an androgentic mosaic. These findings will advance the human imprinting studies.
