Identification and characterization of an imprinted antisense RNA (MESTIT1) in the human MEST locus on chromosome 7q32
15 Jul 2002
Abstract excerpt
Imprinted gene(s) on human chromosome 7 are thought to be involved in Russell-Silver syndrome (RSS), based on the fact that approximately 10% of patients have maternal uniparental disomy of chromosome 7. However, involvement of the known imprinted genes (GRB10 at 7p12, PEG10 at 7q21.3 and MEST at 7q32) in RSS has yet to be established. To screen for new imprinted genes, we are initially using somatic cell hybrids...
