Abstract excerpt
Beckwith-Wiedemann syndrome (BWS) is caused by a gain of methylation (GOM) at the imprinting control region within the Igf2-H19 domain on the maternal allele (H19-ICR GOM). Mutations in the binding sites of several transcription factors are involved in H19-ICR GOM and BWS. However, the responsible sequence(s) for H19-ICR GOM with BWS-like overgrowth has not been identified in mice. Here, we report that a mutation...
