The existence of functional differences between parts of the maternal and paternal genome has been demonstrated. The control of gene expression through genomic imprinting plays a significant role in normal developmental processes in mammals and is also instrumental in several human pathological cond

The number of reported germline mutations in human nuclear genes, either underlying or associated with inherited disease, has now exceeded 100,000 in more than 3,700 different genes. The availability of these data has both revolutionized the study of the morbid anatomy of the human genome and facili
In humans, an increased synthesis of reactive oxygen species (ROS) may be a relevant cause of amplification of physiologic processes resulting in inflammatory organ damage or neoplasia. Efficient anti-oxidative systems targeting oxidative stress are thus essential to prevent tissue damage. In plasm
