A HhaI/BstUI polymorphism in a novel gene at human chromosome 11p15.5.
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 p57KIP2, 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.
