Abstract excerpt
Loss of imprinting (LOI) of the igf2 and h19 genes has been found not only in embryonal tumors but also in common adult cancers. To determine any possible role of genomic imprinting in the development of renal-cell carcinomas (RCCs), we examined the imprinting status of igf2 and h19 in a series of 22 such tumors, and studied its relation to their mRNA expression. Of 14 RCC specimens heterozygous for the ApaI...
