Journal ArticleDOI

Declining brain activity in cognitively normal apolipoprotein E epsilon 4 heterozygotes: A foundation for using positron emission tomography to efficiently test treatments to prevent Alzheimer's disease.

TL;DR: This study provides a paradigm for testing the potential of treatments to prevent the disorder without having to study thousands of research subjects or wait many years to determine whether or when treated individuals develop symptoms.
Journal ArticleDOI

Regulation of transposable elements by DNA modifications

TL;DR: Current evidence implicating DNA modifications and DNA-modifying enzymes in TE regulation across different species is discussed, and DNA methylation dynamics play a central role in the multilayered epigenetic mechanisms regulating TEs.
Journal ArticleDOI

The importance of imprinting in the human placenta.

TL;DR: The development of the human placenta is discussed and the significance of genes that lack conservation of imprinting between mice and humans, genes whose imprinted expression is often placental-specific are discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI

The genetic aetiology of Silver–Russell syndrome

TL;DR: Chromosome 11 has moved to the forefront as the key chromosome in the aetiology, with reports of methylation defects in the H19 imprinted domain associated with the phenotype in 35–65% of SRS patients.
