摘要: Relaxation of imprinting at the insulin-like growth factor II (IFG-II)/H19 locus is a major mechanism involved in onset sporadic Wilms tumor and several other embryonal tumors. The high prevalence histologically abnormal foci kidney adjacent to tumors suggests that tumor-predisposing genetic/epigenetic lesion might also be found frequency tumor-bearing kidneys. Focusing on with relaxation IFG-II imprinting, we determined epigenetic change IFG-II/H19 kidney. In all kidneys these tumors, detected substantial mosaicism for population cells biallelic H19 methylation, regardless whether patient had syndrome or not. proportion epigenetically modified among “normal” tissue indicates error occurred very early development, before tumor. Not only does this suggest event occurs within first few days but it may represent one end spectrum overgrowth disorders characterized by mosaic locus.
