Introduction
What is Epigenetics?
“Any process that alters gene activity without changing the DNA sequence, and leads to modifications that can be transmitted to
daughter cells”

Genomic Imprinting
What is Genomic Imprinting?
Genomic imprinting is an epigenetic mode of gene regulation involving preferential expression of the paternally or
maternally inherited allele.
Why Genomic Imprinting is important? Because many imprinted genes are associated with embryonic
growth, development feeding and motivated behaviors, and parental biases preferentially target genetic pathways
governing metabolism and cell adhesion.

Both produced by same genetic mutation
Prader-Willi/Angelman syndrome
*AS: deletion of maternal copy, maternal mutation of UBE3A gene or UPD of chromosome 15q11-q13
*Severe mental retardation, happy demeanor, non-verbal
*PWS: deletion of paternal copy or UPD of chromosome 15q11-q13
*Language, motor and developmental delays, excessive weight gain

Sexual dimorphism is a central characteristic of mammalian brain function and behavior that influences major neurological diseases in humans.
Three processes may underlie sexually dimorphic genomic imprinting.
Nonrandom X inactivation.
Imprinting of individual X-linked loci in females .
Autosomal genes might be imprinted in one sex but not the other.

Sex-specific imprinting and preferential expressionof the Xm in the female brain.
This elevated expression from the Xm versus the Xp may indicate a bias in X inactivation in the brain, a hypothesis further investigated with a transgenic mouse line expressing X-linked egfp under the control of the cytomegalovirus (CMV) promoter as a reporter of the active X chromosome.

DiscussionPrevious data present evidence for epigenetic mechanisms by which parents may differentially influence gene expression in the brain of daughters versus sons and provide insights into sexually dimorphic epigenetic pathways recently uncovered in the brain.
The X chromosome is enriched for genes involved in brain function. Investigating the potential relations between maternal and paternal gene expression programs may shed light on brain function, evolution, and disease.
