Insulin-like growth factor 2 (IGF2) gene imprinting has been demonstrated to be promoter-specific, in that expression from the P1 promoter is biallelic whereas that from the P2-P4 promoters is monoallelic. In the present study, in order to investigate IGF2 gene imprinting status at the cellular leve

Insulin-like growth factor II (IGF-II) plays significant roles in the growth and development of mammals through the regulation of mitogenesis and cell survival. Previously, IGF-II mRNA transcripts within the CNS were detected in the choroid plexus and leptomeninges (DeChiara et al., 1991). The objec
Paternal allele-specific expression is identified for the insulinlike growth factor 2 (IGFZ) gene. Relaxation or loss of IGFZ imprinting, however, has been reported in several neoplasms. We studied the expression of IGFZ mRNA in 35 s q w m w s cancers of the esophagus and searched for the presence
