Compelling evidence for genomic imprinting as a pathogenetic mechanism in humans mandates re-evaluation of every genetic or multifactorial disease for parent-of-origin effects. In an expanding list of malformation syndromes, cancers, growth abnormalities, and chromosomal disorders, phenotypes may be
