Abstract excerpt
GNAS is a complex gene that through use of alternative first exons encodes signaling proteins Galpha(s) and XLalphas plus neurosecretory protein NESP55. Tissue-specific expression of these proteins is regulated through reciprocal genomic imprinting in fully differentiated and developed tissue. Mutations in GNAS account for several human disorders, including McCune-Albright syndrome and Albright hereditary...
