Maintenance of genomic imprinting at the IGF2 locus in hepatoblastoma.
Genomic imprinting is the parental allele specific expression of genes and has recently been shown to occur in humans. Evidence for a role for genomic imprinting in human cancer comes from the finding of preferential retention of paternal alleles in embryonal tumors undergoing loss of heterozygosity, e.g., Wilms' tumor and osteogenic sarcoma. Recent studies have demonstrated imprinting of the i...
متن کاملGenomic imprinting at a boundary element flanking the SDHD locus.
Germline mutations in SDHD, a mitochondrial complex II (succinate dehydrogenase) subunit gene at chromosome band 11q23, cause highly penetrant paraganglioma (PGL) tumors when transmitted through fathers. In contrast, maternal transmission rarely, if ever, leads to tumor development. The mechanism underlying this unusual monogenic tumor predisposition pattern is poorly understood. Here, we descr...
متن کاملMutation-selection balance under genomic imprinting at an autosomal locus.
I model the effect of genomic imprinting on the equilibrium allele frequencies at an autosomal diallelic locus subject to viability selection and mutation. The population size is assumed to be very large; male and female mutation rates may be unequal. Different models examine cases of the inactivation of one gene (with both complete and partial penetrance) and of differential expression of gene...
متن کاملGenetic Imprinting: Conflict at the Callipyge Locus
The imprinted Dlk1-Gtl2 region of the mammalian genome - which in sheep encompasses the Callipyge locus, known for its unusual mode of inheritance - encodes a number of maternally expressed miRNAs. Five of these miRNAs, hosted by the antisense transcript antiPeg11, have now been shown to target degradation of the paternally expressed Peg11 mRNA by an RNAi-mediated mechanism.
متن کاملGenomic imprinting recapitulated in the human -globin locus
A subset of genes in mammals are subject to genomic imprinting. The mouse H19 gene, for example, is active only when maternally inherited and the neighboring Igf2 gene is paternally expressed. This imprinted expression pattern is regulated by the imprinting control region (ICR) upstream of the H19 gene. A maternally inherited H19 ICR inhibits Igf2 gene activation by the downstream enhancer due ...
