Abstract excerpt
Several human imprinted genes have been identified and are implicated in genetic diseases and tumorigenesis. We studied alterations of two imprinted genes, the paternally imprinted H19 and maternally imprinted IGF2, in 15 ovarian tumors with various cell types. To know allele-specific expression of the two genes, we analyzed restriction fragment length polymorphisms (RFLPs) at the 3'-untranslated region (UTR) in...
