摘要
The imprinting of a large cluster of paternally expressed genes at the Prader-Willi syndrome locus is established by an imprinting centre in human and mouse. Deletions carried by a member of a rare family and by chimaeric mice demonstrate that the imprinting centre is additionally required for postzygotic maintenance of paternal identity.
