Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVES: We mapped a locus for autosomal recessive molar pregnancies with biparental genomic contribution to chromosome 19q13.4 between D19S924 and D19S890. This 5-Mb region is homologous to proximal mouse chromosome 7 and contains a cluster of Krüppel-type zinc finger genes, including the human homologue of the mouse imprinted genes: the paternally expressed gene 3 (PEG3) and the maternally expressed Zim1...
