Abstract excerpt
The mouse Dlx5 gene encodes a distal-less-related DNA-binding homeobox protein first expressed during early embryonic development in anterior regions of mouse embryo and is located on chromosome 6, which is the syntenic region to the human chromosome 7q21-q31 imprinting cluster. Recently, its human homologue, DLX5, was identified to be imprinted and maternally expressed, at least in normal human lymphoblasts and...
