Activation of the silent maternal ICF2 allele has recently been found in approximately half of Wilms'tumour (WTs) examined. This process of imprint relaxation leads to biallelic expression of ICF2 and it has been suggested that this is a key event in the onset of some WTs. Although it has previously
Inactivation of expression of the paternal allele at two maternally silent imprinted loci has recently been reported to diminish the quality of care that female mice lavish on their offspring. This suggests that there can be disagreement between the maternally and paternally derived genomes of mothe
