Abstract excerpt
Genomic imprinting is an epigenetic modification in the germline leading to parental allele-specific gene expression in somatic cells. We have previously found that imprinted genes can be abnormally expressed or silenced in tumors and that the cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor (CKI) CDKN1C (p57KIP2) is normally imprinted, with preferential expression of the maternal allele. Here we analyze the imprinting status...
