Disruption of Imprinted Genes at Chromosome Region 11p15.5 in Paediatric Rhabdomyosarcoma

Rhabdomyosarcomas are characterized by loss of heterozygosity (LOH) at chromosome region 11pl5.5, a region known to contain several imprinted genes including insulin-like growth factor 2 (IGF2), H19, p57KIP2. We analyzed 48 primary tumour samples and found distinct genetic changes at 11p15.5 in alv...
