Abstract excerpt
H19 and IGF-2 are two growth regulatory genes located on chromosome 11p15 implicated in tumorigenesis. Both genes are imprinted and regulated reciprocally under many circumstances. In order to elucidate the contribution of H19 and IGF-2 to leukemogenesis, the mRNA expression level of both genes were quantitated in bone marrow biopsies and peripheral blood samples from normal (n=98), chronic myelomonocytic...
