Sex biased costs could cause imprinting in ways parallel to those noted in the "helping" section.
Recent publications point out that some epimutations which cause imprinting disorders may affect simultaneously different imprinted loci, suggesting that DNA-methylation may have been altered more globally.
A conceptually similar phenomenon could cause imprinting to vary between closely related genotypes.
Possible mechanisms that may explain this increased cancer risk include epigenetic changes such as altered DNA methylation and changes in chromatin structure, which may cause imprinting disorders and modified gene expression [ 39].
It is thus hypothesized that BS conversion-derived "hypermethylation" at imprinting control regions (ICRs), which may cause imprinting disorders, would in fact be attributable to excessively increased levels of 5hmC as well as 5mC.

Our allele-specific expression maps and the F1-hybrid TSCs from which they were derived represent a resource to dissect the mechanisms that cause imprinted gene expression in the mouse, and the cell autonomous roles that imprinted genes play in TSC biology.
Human ZFP57 mutations affect several maternally methylated ICRs while inactivation of the mouse Zfp57 causes imprinting defects at both maternally and paternally methylated loci.
Hence, not all "putatively" imprinted loci were necessarily caused by imprinting at the epigenetic level.
ASE can also be caused by imprinting where an epigenetic mark distinguishes the paternal and maternal chromosomes and causes them to be expressed unequally.
Here we devise genomics, in situ hybridization, and mouse genetics strategies to uncover diverse allelic effects in the brain that are not caused by imprinting or genetic variation.
These can enter into the human organism causing faulty imprinting.
