H19 H19 imprinted maternally expressed transcript

Gene ID: 283120, updated on 6-Nov-2024
Gene type: ncRNA
Also known as: ASM; BWS; WT2; ASM1; D11S813E; MIR675HG; LINC00008; NCRNA00008

Summary

This gene is located in an imprinted region of chromosome 11 near the insulin-like growth factor 2 (IGF2) gene. This gene is only expressed from the maternally-inherited chromosome, whereas IGF2 is only expressed from the paternally-inherited chromosome. The product of this gene is a long non-coding RNA which functions as a tumor suppressor. Mutations in this gene have been associated with Beckwith-Wiedemann Syndrome and Wilms tumorigenesis. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Apr 2015]
