Imprinting disorders do not involve changes in DNA sequence, but only the methylated state of the DNA. Does it seem likely that imprinting disorders could be treated by controlling the maternal environment in some way, perhaps by dietary changes?

Hello everyone here. We have a question asking what is the possible consequence of hypo methylation of repetitive sequences such as lines and signs? So what is hypo methylation? Hypo methylation is the removal of the methyl group in the five methyl side of C. Nucleotide. And this can lead to the transcription activation of transposing elements such as lines and signs, which can then increase genomic instability. So our correct answer is C increases genomic instability. Thank you for watching. Bye.
