Funded Activity Summary
Epigenetic Regulation of Fetal and Placental Development. Perturbations of the environment of the early embryo can alter fetal and placental growth. The mechanisms by which the early environment alters development of the fetal adrenal-placental axis are unknown. This axis coordinates fetal growth and development to ensure a successful transition from intra- to extrauterine life. We propose a novel role for the epigenetic regulation of imprinted genes in the activation of the fetal adrenal and in placental growth and differentiation. This proposal extends the 'genetic conflict' hypothesis of the role of imprinted genes beyond its current focus on the regulation of fetal nutrient supply and demand.Funded Activity Details
