Abstract excerpt
Differential DNA methylation of the parental alleles has been implicated in the establishment and maintenance of the monoallelic expression of imprinted genes. H19 and IGF2 are oppositely imprinted with only the maternal and the paternal alleles expressed, respectively. In Wilms tumor, a childhood renal neoplasm, loss of the H19/IGF2 imprinted expression pattern results in silencing of H19 and biallelic...
