Imprinted genes play a significant role in the regulation of life processes in mammals. In the early stage of life, imprinted genes adjust allele's expression or silence with epigenetic modification and subsequently regulate the growth of embryos and placenta. The abnormal expressions of imprinted genes are closely related to fetal growth restriction, developmental arrest and thyroid detoxification in the embryos and placenta, so it is important to explore the regulation mechanisms of imprinted genes on the development of embryos and placenta for the purpose of prevention from intrauterine gro...
