• loss of methylation in the somatic differentially methylated regions following tamoxifen treatment at E8.5 when the Kcnq1ot1 allele is inherited paternally
|
• loss of imprinting of ubiquitously imprinted genes following tamoxifen treatment at E8.5 when the Kcnq1ot1 allele is inherited paternally
• however, silencing of placental-specific imprinted genes is variably maintained
• no alteration of imprinting status when the Kcnq1ot1 allele is inherited maternally
