In most non-neoplastic tissues studied to date, IGF2 is expressed only from the paternal allele and H19 is expressed only from the maternal allele. The choroid plexus, the only normal tissue to date where IGF2 is expressed from both parental alleles, does not express H19. We present an additional situation in which biallelic IGF2 expression is associated with the absence of H19 transcription in normal tissue:...
