WHILE IMPRINTED GENES HAVE been linked to a variety of diseases, until now only
several dozen have been identified. But a new report reveals a map of 156 new likely …

Explores the importance of the role played by changes or disruptions in genomic imprinting
for understanding a host of cancers. Cellular processes affected by genomic imprinting; …

It is estimated that 100 to 200 genes in the human genome are imprinted. These are
expressed only from one parental allele, although having the same DNA sequence. Several …

Genomic imprinting is a remarkable phenomenon through which certain genes show
monoallelic expression depending on their parent of origin. While imprinting may have …

Although we inherit two copies of all genes, except those that reside on the sex
chromosomes, there is a subset of these genes in which only the paternal or maternal copy …

The association between aberrations of the human genome and the development of cancer
is well established. Gene imprinting, defined as gene expression based on the gamete of …

Genomic imprinting is the biological process whereby a gene or genomic domain exists in a
state of epigenetic differentiation that depends upon its parent of origin. Importantly, the …

METHODS To assay for genomic imprinting, it was necessary to determine not just which
patients were heterozygous for a given polymorphism, but also which alleles were …
