摘要: The human IGF2 and H19 genes are imprinted in most normal tissues. Alterations of genomic imprinting or loss (LOI) have been observed a number malignant tumors. Although LOI has linked to tumorigenesis, also choroid plexus leptomeninges mouse brain. We therefore analyzed the allelic expression both fetal brain different regions adult In brains fetuses 6-12 weeks gestation, were transcribed from parental alleles. contrast, strictly monoallelic was all other tissues, suggesting tissue-specific central nervous system. brain, region-specific. expressed alleles pons, but not globus palludus, Raphe nucleus hypothalamus. drastically reduced compared detectable only pons palludus. contrast IGF2, monoallelic. Examination promoter usage indicated predominant utilization P3 reflects biallelic promoter. transcripts derived less abundant P1, however, showed pons. Our results suggest that undergo ontogenetic changes there is dissociation
