Abstract excerpt
Prader-Willi syndrome (PWS), a human neuroendocrine disorder, is associated with deficiencies of paternal chromosome 15q12. Small nuclear ribonucleoprotein polypeptide N (SNRPN) is the first expressed gene identified in the PWS critically deleted region. Following our demonstration that the murine homologue of SNRPN is imprinted, we have characterized a sequence polymorphism within expressed portions of human...
