Gene summaryThis gene expresses a non-coding RNA, and functions as a tumor suppressor. The gene is located in an imprinted region of chromosome 11 near the insulin-like growth factor 2 (IGF2) gene. Expression of this gene and IGF2 are imprinted so that this gene is only expressed from the maternally-inherited chromosome, and IGF2 is only expressed from the paternally-inherited chromosome. A region of paternal-specific methylation upstream of this gene is required for the imprinting of these genes. Mutations in this gene are associated with Beckwith-Wiedemann Syndrome and Wilms tumorigenesis. [provided by RefSeq]
