Abstract excerpt
Maternal uniparental disomy for chromosome 14 (upd(14)mat) causes clinically discernible features such as pre- and/or postnatal growth failure, hypotonia, obesity, small hands, and early onset of puberty. The monoallelic expression patterns at the 14q32.2 imprinted region are tightly related to methylation status of the DLK1-MEG3 intergenic differential methylation region (DMR) and the MEG3-DMR that are severely...
