Tissue-specific and mosaic imprinting defects underlie opposite congenital growth disorders in mice.

Differential DNA methylation defects of H19/IGF2 are associated with congenital growth disorders characterized by opposite clinical pictures. Due to structural differences between human and mouse, the mechanisms by which mutations of the H19/IGF2 Imprinting Control region (IC1) result in these disea...
