Abstract excerpt
DNA methylation is critically involved in the regulation of chromatin states and cell-type-specific gene expression. The exclusive expression of imprinted genes from either the maternal or the paternal allele is regulated by allele-specific DNA methylation at imprinting control regions (ICRs). Aberrant DNA hyper- or hypomethylation at the ICR1 of the H19/IGF2 imprinting locus is characteristic for the imprinting...
