Presence of epigenetic marks enables cells with the same genotype have potential to display different phenotypes and differentiate into many cell-types with different functions, and responses to environmental and intercellular signaling. For example, DNA methylation is essential for the process of imprinting. Imprinted genes are expressed from only one parental allele. This mono-allelic gene expression is directed by epigenetic marks established in the mammalian germ line and a single mutation, either genetic or epigenetic, can cause disease. There is an increased prevalence of imprinting disorders associated with human assisted reproductive technologies | CURRENT BASIC AND PATHOLOGICAL APPROACHES TO THE FUNCTION OF MUSCLE CELLS AND TISSUES - FROM MOLECULES TO HUMANS Edited by Haruo Sugi Current Basic and Pathological Approaches to the Function of Muscle Cells and Tissues - From Molecules to Humans http 3003 Edited by Haruo Sugi Contributors Haruo Sugi Hiroki Minoda Takuya Miyakawa Suguru Tanokura Shigeru Chaen Takakazu Kobayashi Larissa Lipskaia Isabelle Limon Regis Bobe Roger Hajjar Ricardo Espinosa-Tanguma Paola Algara-Suárez Rebeca Mejia-Elizondo Victor Saavedra-Alanís Paul Fransen Cor E.
