Abstract excerpt
To examine the chromatin basis of imprinting in chromosome 15q11-q13, we have investigated the status of histone acetylation of the SNURF-SNRPN locus, which is a key imprinted gene locus in Prader-Willi syndrome (PWS). Chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) studies revealed that the unmethylated CpG island of the active, paternally derived allele of SNURF-SNRPN was associated with acetylated histones, whereas the...
