Several human imprinted genes have been identified and are implicated in genetic diseases and tumorigenesis. We studied alterations of two imprinted genes, the paternally imprinted H19 and maternally imprinted IGF2, in 15 ovarian tumors with various cell types. To know allele-specific expression of
cDNA subtraction was employed to uncover differences in gene expression between myeloproliferative polycythaemia vera (PV) and normal haematopoietic precursors. Following cDNA subtraction using mRNAs isolated from PV and normal CD34+/CD33x bone-marrow cells, expression of the tumour suppressor H19 w
