The two-domain hypothesis in Beckwith–Wiedemann syndrome: autonomous imprinting of the telomeric domain of the distal chromosome 7 cluster
7 Jan 2005
Abstract excerpt
A large cluster of imprinted genes is located on the mouse distal chromosome 7. This cluster is well conserved in humans and its dysregulation results in the overgrowth- and tumour-associated Beckwith-Wiedemann syndrome. Two imprinting centres (IC1 and IC2) controlling different sets of genes have been identified in the cluster, raising the hypothesis that the cluster is divided into two functionally independent...
