Steps of the imprinting reprogramming process that might be affected by assisted reproductive technologies
Ariane Paoloni-Giacobino
Figure 2. Steps of the imprinting reprogramming process that might be affected by assisted reproductive technologies. The stages during germ cell differentiation, fertilisation and embryonic development during which erasure, establishment and maintenance of imprinting occur are shown. The pink and blue bars represent the acquisition of the maternal and paternal imprints, respectively. In vitro manipulations during assisted reproductive technologies might affect imprinting at various stages in this process, as indicated. Abbreviations: ICSI, intracytoplasmic sperm injection; IVF, vitro fertilisation; PGD, preimplantation genetic diagnosis.
