{"symbol":"H19","synonyms":["D11S813E","ASM1","NCRNA00008","WT2","LINC00008"],"name":"H19, imprinted maternally expressed transcript (non-protein coding)","description":"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.
