Deletion of a silencer element disruptsH19imprinting independently of a DNA methylation epigenetic switch
15 Aug 2000
Abstract excerpt
The H19 imprinted gene is silenced when paternally inherited and active only when inherited maternally. This is thought to involve a cis-acting control region upstream of H19 that is responsible for regulating a number of functions including DNA methylation, asynchronous replication of parental chromosomes and an insulator. Here we report on the function of a 1.2 kb upstream element in the mouse, which was...
