Abstract excerpt
The imprinted mouse gene Meg1/Grb10 is expres sed from maternal alleles in almost all tissues and organs, except in the brain, where it is expressed biallelically, and the paternal allele is expressed preferentially in adulthood. In contrast, the human GRB10 gene shows equal biallelic expression in almost all tissues and organs, while it is almost always expressed paternally in the fetal brain. To elucidate the...
