Abstract excerpt
The methylation status of imprinting control center 1 (IC1) regulates the monoallelic transcription of H19 and Igf2 in mammalian cells. Several single nucleotide variants in Oct motifs within IC1 occur in patients with Beckwith-Wiedemann syndrome (BWS) who have hypermethylated maternal IC1. However, the importance of Oct motifs in the regulation of IC1 methylation status remains unclear. Here, we demonstrate that...
