Role of Histone Methyltransferase G9a in CpG Methylation of the Prader-Willi Syndrome Imprinting Center
1 Apr 2003
Abstract excerpt
Imprinted genes in mammals are often located in clusters whose imprinting is subject to long range regulation by cis-acting sequences known as imprinting centers (ICs). The mechanisms by which these ICs exert their effects is unknown. The Prader-Willi syndrome IC (PWS-IC) on human chromosome 15 and mouse chromosome 7 regulates imprinted gene expression bidirectionally within an approximately 2-megabase region and...
