Human chromosome 11p15 comprises two imprinted domains important in the control of fetal and postnatal growth. Novel studies (1 -3) establish that imprinting at one of these, the IGF2-H19 domain, is epigenetically deregulated (with loss of DNA methylation) in Silver-Russell Syndrome (SRS), a congeni
## Abstract Tamoxifen, a nonsteroidal antiβestrogen, is a potent genotoxic hepatocarcinogen in rats, with both tumor initiating and promoting properties. Recently it has been demonstrated that genotoxic carcinogens, in addition to exerting genotoxic effects, often cause epigenetic alterations and t
