Methylation levels of maternally imprinted (PEG1, PEG4, PEG5, and PEG10), paternally imprinted (H19-IG DMR, IGF2-DMR0, and MEG3-IG DMR) regions, and obesity-related non-imprinted HIF3A gene were quantified by bisulphite pyrosequencing in sperm samples of 294 human donors undergoing in vitro fertilization or intracytoplasmic sperm injection, and in 113 FCBs of the resulting offspring. Here, HIF3A is linked to obesity disorder.
