Frequent loss of imprinting of IGF2 and MEST in lung adenocarcinoma
1 Aug 2001
Abstract excerpt
Genomic imprinting is a parental origin-specific chromosomal modification that causes differential expression of maternal and paternal alleles of a gene. Accumulating evidence suggests that deregulation of imprinted genes, including loss of imprinting (LOI), plays a role in oncogenesis. In the present study, we investigated allelic expression of six imprinted genes in human lung adenocarcinomas as well as in...
