Abstract excerpt
Genomic imprinting, which is also known as the parent-of-origin effect, is a mechanism that only expresses one copy of a gene pair depending upon the parental origin. Although many chromosomal regions in the human genome are likely to be imprinted, imprinting is not accounted for in the usual linkage analysis. In this study, using a variance-components approach with a quantitative phenotype ttth-FP1, we found...
