Abstract excerpt
The parentally imprinted allele (PIA) typing that we have recently developed determines parental alleles at a VNTR locus in the differentially methylated region upstream of the human H19 gene. The usefulness of this typing was demonstrated by its application to blood samples in paternity cases. However, its applicability to other tissue DNA remains to be tested. DNA samples from fifteen different postmortem...
