Epigenetic silencing of <i>PEG3</i> gene expression in human glioma cell lines*
1 May 2001
Abstract excerpt
Genomic imprinting, the phenomenon in which alleles of genes are expressed differentially depending on their parental origins, has important consequences for mammalian development, and disturbance of normal imprinting leads to abnormal embryogenesis and some inherited diseases and is also associated with various cancers. In the context of screening for novel imprinted genes on human chromosome 19q13.4 with mouse...
