Abstract excerpt
H19 and IGF2 genes are imprinted genes and expressed differently depending on whether they are carried by a chromosome of maternal or paternal origin; H19 is expressed only from the maternal allele and IGF2 only from the paternally inherited allele. The upstream promoter region of H19 has the imprinting-control region (ICR) or CTCF binding sites, where the methylation status of this region is critical to the...
