Genomic Structure and Parent-of-Origin-Specific Methylation of Peg1
1 Oct 1997
Abstract excerpt
We previously identified Peg1/Mest as a novel paternally expressed gene in the developing mouse embryo. The human PEG1 gene was recently assigned to 7q32 and shown to be imprinted and paternally expressed. Therefore, PEG1 deficiency could participate in the aetiology of pre- and post-natal growth retardation associated with maternal uniparental disomy 7 in humans. We have now initiated the characterization of the...
