Abstract excerpt
Expression of the chromosomally linked Insulin-like Growth Factor II (IGF-II) and H19 genes is regulated by parental imprinting during development, since the maternally inherited IGF-II and the paternally inherited H19 alleles are inactive in fetal tissues. Here we show that expression of IGF-II and H19 genes is activated in transgenic mice during SV40 Tag-induced hepatocarcinogenesis and that imprinting of both...
