Genomic impronting is a process by which the male and the famele germline confer a sexspecific mark (imprint) on certain chromosomal regions. It is an important mammalian developmental process, incluiding humans, hat expose the necessity of both, maternal and paternal genomes for a normal embrionic development. This phenomena has important implications for chromosomal diseases, childood cancers and other disorders associated with mental retardation.
