Identification of an imprinted gene, <i>Meg3</i>/<i>Gtl2</i> and its human homologue <i>MEG3</i>, first mapped on mouse distal chromosome 12 and human chromosome 14q
1 Mar 2000
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: The paternal duplication of mouse distal chromosome 12 leads to late embryonal/neonatal lethality and growth promotion, whereas maternal duplication leads to late embryonal lethality and growth retardation. Human paternal or maternal uniparental disomies of chromosome 14q that are syntenic to mouse distal chromosome 12 have also been reported to show some imprinting effects on growth, mental activity...
