Abstract excerpt
The human GNAS gene is imprinted in a tissue-specific manner, being expressed primarily from the maternal allele in pituitary, thyroid, renal proximal tubules, and gonads, but is supposed to be biallelically expressed with an equal allelic expression in most other tissues. We analysed allelic expression of Gαs using Pyrosequencing. By genotyping the GNAS T393C polymorphism we quantified mRNA transcripts in...
