Abstract excerpt
Differentially methylated regions have been characterized at a number of imprinted gene complexes with important roles in the regulation of monoallelic expression of one or more genes. The differentially methylated imprinting control region (ICR) located upstream of the murine H19 gene has been shown to control the imprinted expression of H19 and the coordinately regulated Igf2 gene by acting as a transcriptional...
