Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Loss of imprinting (LOI) of the H19/IGF2 domain is a common feature of Wilms tumour. The GTL2/DLK1 domain is also imprinted and is structurally similar to H19/IGF2. The question arises as to whether DLK1 also undergoes LOI in Wilms tumour, or whether the LOI mechanism is restricted to the H19/IGF2 domain. AIM: To investigate the imprinting status of DLK1 in Wilms tumours with IGF2 LOI. The cellular...
