Abstract excerpt
The expression of Insulin-like Growth Factor 2 (IGF-2) and H19, two genes located on human chromosome 11p15 and provided with cell growth modulating activity, is regulated by parental imprinting, in that the activity of their alleles is dependent on the parental origin. Parental bias in the genetic alterations of chromosome 11p15 observed in several pediatric cancers suggests the involvement of imprinted genes in...
