Abstract excerpt
Mutations in the guanine nucleotide binding alpha-subunit 1 gene (GNAS1) cause Albright's hereditary osteodistrophy, and the parent of transmission determines variable phenotypic expression of the disease. This has suggested that GNAS1 may be under tissue-specific imprinting control, although studies so far available have failed to clearly define the pattern of GNAS1 expression in humans. To establish if GNAS1 is...
