    EXPRESSION
    Rna function
  • acting as a tumor suppressor (may play the role of a “modifier gene” suppressing tumorigenesis)
  • one of the earliest identified, and is the most studied, long noncoding RNAs

    IMPRINTING maternally, paternally
    text
  • paternally imprinted (? same as ASMG)
  • telomeric imprinting domain at 11p15, containing ASCL2, IGF2 and H19
  • methylation imprint during male germ cell development is differentially established on the paternal allele (fetal stage) and maternal (perinatal stage)
  • maternally imprinted in hemihypertrophy
  • PROTEIN
