A bipartite boundary element restricts <i>UBE3A</i> imprinting to mature neurons
23 Jan 2019
Abstract excerpt
Angelman syndrome (AS) is a severe neurodevelopmental disorder caused by the loss of function from the maternal allele of UBE3A , a gene encoding an E3 ubiquitin ligase. UBE3A is only expressed from the maternally inherited allele in mature human neurons due to tissue-specific genomic imprinting. Imprinted expression of UBE3A is restricted to neurons by expression of UBE3A antisense transcript ( UBE3A-ATS ) from...
