Random and imprinted monoallelic expression.

Abstract excerpt

This review has surveyed the current literature on random and imprinted monoallelic expression from the unusual perspective of considering that these two forms of monoallelic expression (MAE) may be regulated by similar mechanisms. The true extent of genes which show MAE is not yet known. Imprinted MAE is thought to involve 0.1-0.2% of mammalian genes, while the number of genes in the random MAE category cannot...
