Abstract excerpt
Genomic imprinting is the parental allele specific expression of genes and has recently been shown to occur in humans. Evidence for a role for genomic imprinting in human cancer comes from the finding of preferential retention of paternal alleles in embryonal tumors undergoing loss of heterozygosity, e.g., Wilms' tumor and osteogenic sarcoma. Recent studies have demonstrated imprinting of the insulin-like growth...
