Abstract excerpt
INTRODUCTION: We detected false homozygosity at the NESP55 differentially methylated region of the imprinted GNAS locus while analyzing the segregation of single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in families with pseudohypoparathyroidism type Ib (PHP-Ib). We hypothesized that differential methylation of NESP55 could affect polymerase chain reaction (PCR) amplification, resulting in allele dropout. METHODS: We...
