Abstract excerpt
The imprinted H19 gene is frequently inactivated in Wilms' tumors (WTs) either by chromosome 11p15.5 loss of heterozygosity (LOH) or by hypermethylation of the maternal allele and it is possible that there might be coordinate disruption of imprinting of multiple 11p15.5 genes in these tumors. To test this we have characterized total and allele-specific mRNA expression levels and DNA methylation of the 11p15.5...
