Abstract

Objective. To analyze the data available in the literature on the impact of epigenetic changes in particular genome imprinting that is of great importance in the development and function of the placenta and in the regulation of fetal growth and development. Subject and methods. The data published in the past 30 years on the impact of epigenetic changes on the regulation of fetal growth were sought in NSBI Pub Med. Results. The paper describes the imprinting mechanisms of genes, the distinctive feature of which is their expression only of one allele; it may be both paternally and maternally inherited. Conclusion. The mechanism of expression can supposedly control the stream of nutrients from mother to fetus, both increasing and decreasing it. This dysregulation may give rise to fetal malformations. Animal testing of reproductive technologies have shown that the changes in the epigenome of an embryo at its early development stage result in imprinting, which may both provoke and constrain intrauterine growth restriction.
