Abstract: | We found a HhaI/BstUI polymorphism in the 3′ untranslated region of a novel gene which was localized to 11p15.5. This region is one of prominent imprinting domains and contains multiple imprinted genes, such as H19, IGF2 , KVLQT1, and p57 KIP2 , which suggests that regional factors might contribute to the imprinting. This polymorphism will be useful in the allelic analysis of expression and methylation of the novel gene. Received: July 24, 1998 / Accepted: July 29, 1998 |
