... through dose regulation of some relevant signals, the roles of many imprinted genes in the process remain elusive. Insulin-like growth factor 2 (IGF2) is encoded by an imprinted gene that contributes to NSC maintenance in the adult subventricular zone through a biallelic expression in only the vascular...

...Piroska E. Szabó; Shih-Huey E. Tang; Michael R. Reed; Francisco J. Silva; Walter M. K. Tsark; Jeffrey R. Mann Imprinting of the mouse insulin-like growth factor 2 ( Igf2 ) and H19 genes is regulated by an imprinting control region (ICR). The hypomethylated maternal copy functions as a chromatin...

...Jason L. Burns; A. Bassim Hassan The size of mammalian species involves the interaction of multiple genetic modifiers that control the timing and extent of growth mechanisms. Disruption of the paternal allele of the imprinted embryonic gene coding for insulin-like growth factor 2 (IGF2, Igf2 +m/−p...
