| Gene summary | | This gene encodes several alternatively spliced, non-protein-coding transcripts, and appears to function as an RNA. It is an imprinted gene, with preferential expression from the maternal allele. It is closely linked to, and co-expressed with reciprocally imprinted, paternally expressed Dlk1 gene. This co-regulation suggests a causative role in the pathologies found in uniparental disomy animals, characterized by defects in skeletal muscle maturation, bone formation, placenta size and organization and prenatal lethality. |
