Abstract excerpt
Although the molecular basis of pseudohypoparathyroidism type 1b (PHP type 1b) remains unknown, a defect in imprinting at the GNAS1 locus has been suggested by the consistent finding of paternal-specific patterns of DNA methylation on maternally inherited GNAS1 alleles. To characterize the relationship between the genetic and epigenetic defects in PHP type 1b, we analyzed allelic expression and methylation of CpG...
