Microdeletion of target sites for insulator protein CTCF in a chromosome 11p15 imprinting center in Beckwith–Wiedemann syndrome and Wilms' tumor
2 Mar 2005
Abstract excerpt
We have analyzed several cases of Beckwith-Wiedemann syndrome (BWS) with Wilms' tumor in a familial setting, which give insight into the complex controls of imprinting and gene expression in the chromosome 11p15 region. We describe a 2.2-kbp microdeletion in the H19/insulin-like growth factor 2 (IGF2)-imprinting center eliminating three target sites of the chromatin insulator protein CTCF that we believe here is...
