Abstract excerpt
The human 11p15.5 region contains several maternally and paternally imprinted genes. Dysregulation of imprinting of some of these genes occurs in the Beckwith-Wiedemann syndrome and several tumors. Imprinting in this region is controlled by two imprinting control regions (ICR). ICR1 acts as an insulator that regulates the reciprocal imprinting of the IGF2 and H19 genes. A differentially methylated region in ICR2...
