Abstract excerpt
Both insulin-like growth factor II (IGF2) and H19 gene are located on chromosome 11p15.5 in close vicinity to each other, and are imprinted on different parental alleles. Although the exact mechanism remains unclear, loss of imprinting (LOI) leading to the biallelic expression of IGF2 and H19 genes has recently been reported in a variety of tumors. To study the role of IGF2 and H19 genes in gastric...
