Uniparental disomy of chromosome 7 (UPD7) is associated with abnormal phenotypic effects because of inappropriate expression of imprinted genes on chromosome 7. Based on the differential methylation of the promoter region of the imprinted PEG1/MEST locus at 7q32, we designed a multiplex methylation

## Abstract Methylation of CpG dinucleotides in the promoter sequence of a gene can lead to deregulated and suppressed gene expression. In this study, we have developed procedures for methylation‐specific polymerase chain reaction (MSP) and sequencing analysis to determine CpG methylation status of
## Abstract The α2(I) collagen gene shows cell type‐specific expression, however, the mechanism behind this specificity remains to be determined. We demonstrate here that transforming growth factor‐beta (TGF‐β)‐mediated induction of α2(I) collagen gene is regulated by DNA methylation in a cell type
