Abstract excerpt
The mouse H19 and Igf2 genes are oppositely imprinted and share enhancers that reside 3' to the genes. The imprinted expression of these genes is coordinated by a 2-kb regulatory element, the differentially methylated domain (DMD), positioned between the two genes. The methylation status of this region determines the ability of the insulator factor CTCF to bind to its sites in the DMD. Deletions and mutations of...
