Abstract excerpt
The CDKN1C gene encodes a cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor and is one of the key genes involved in the development of Beckwith-Wiedemann syndrome and cancer. In this study, using a direct sequencing approach based on a single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) at genomic DNA and cDNA levels, we show that CDKN1C exhibits monoallelic expression in all seven studied organs (heart, liver, spleen, lung, kidney, muscle and...
