Abstract excerpt
We have isolated the human PEG1/MEST gene and have investigated its imprinting status and parental-specific methylation. FISH mapping assigned the gene to chromosome 7q32, and homologous sequences were identified on the short arm of human chromosomes 3 and 5. Through the use of a newly identified intragenic polymorphism, expression analysis revealed that PEG1/MEST is monoallelically transcribed in all fetal...
