Igf2/H19 Imprinting Control Region (ICR): An Insulator or a Position-Dependent Silencer?
The imprinting control region (ICR) located far upstream of the H19 gene, in conjunction with enhancers, modulates the transcription of Igf2 and H19 genes in an allele-specific manner. On paternal inheritance, the methylated ICR silences the H19 gene and indirectly facilitates transcription from the...
