Abstract excerpt
Uniparental disomy of chromosome 7 (UPD7) is associated with abnormal phenotypic effects because of inappropriate expression of imprinted genes on chromosome 7. Based on the differential methylation of the promoter region of the imprinted PEG1/MEST locus at 7q32, we designed a multiplex methylation PCR (mPCR) assay to rapidly distinguish UPD7 from biparental inheritance of chromosome 7. Primers were designed to...
