Abstract excerpt
We have previously reported on the biallelic expression of the imprinted PEG1/MEST gene in infiltrating carcinomas of the breast. Putative loss of imprinting (LOI) of PEG1/MEST has subsequently also been implicated in the aetiology of lung adenocarcinomas and colon cancer. Taking advantage of our previous study, identifying seven infiltrating carcinomas of the breast, displaying biallelic PEG1/MEST expression, we...
