| The influence of the M287T (T[right arrow]C) polymorphism in the AS3MT gene on the methylation capacity was much more pronounced in men than in women. The less severely mutated embryos might rally their remaining methylation capacity to secure adequate methylation of the Igf-2 receptor gene, while somehow deeming other genes less important, he speculates.
