Abstract excerpt
Igf2 and H19 are closely linked imprinted genes in both mice and humans that are expressed from opposite parental alleles. In this study we demonstrate that these two genes are also closely linked in the rat, with the H19 gene mapping to within 145 kb of Igf2 on rat chromosome 1. We identified polymorphisms in H19 and Igf2 transcripts in two inbred rat strains and determined the expression of the parental alleles...
