The Necdin Gene is Deleted in Prader-Willi Syndrome and is Imprinted in Human and Mouse
1 Oct 1997
Abstract excerpt
Human chromosome 15q11-q13 contains genes that are imprinted and expressed from only one parental allele. Prader-Willi syndrome (PWS) is due to the loss of expression of one or more paternally expressed genes on proximal human chromosome 15q, most often by deletion or maternal uniparental disomy. Several candidate genes and a putative imprinting centre have been identified in the deletion region. We report that...
