Biallelic transcription of the porcine IGF2R gene.

Abstract excerpt

Here we report biallelic IGF2R gene expression in pig. We investigated SNPs in IGF2R exon 37 and in the 3'UTR and found biallelic expression in fetal brain and in livers, muscle and kidney tissues of fetal, newborn and adult pigs. PCR-RFLP and DNA sequencing results show consistently that IGF2R is expressed from both parental alleles although differential allelic expression may occur. The CpG island around IGF2R...
