Abstract excerpt
In mouse, four genes have been found to undergo genomic imprinting resulting in differential expression of maternally and paternally inherited alleles. To determine whether the cognate genes are also subject to imprinting in humans, we have studied allele-specific expression patterns of insulin-like growth factor 2, IGF2-receptor and H19 in human fetal and adult tissues. In keeping with previous findings in mice,...
