| Abstract | The human SNRPN gene maps within Chromosome (Chr) 15q11-q13, the region responsible for Prader-Willi syndrome (PWS) and Angelman syndrome (AS). As one of several 15q11-q13 transcripts expressed from the paternal allele-only, SNRPN is a candidate gene to explain at least some of the PWS phenotype in human and in genetic mouse models. The promoter and first exon of the SNRPN gene also correspond to an imprinting center element responsible for resetting of the maternal to paternal imprints within 15q11-q13 during spermatogenesis. Through characterization of the imprinted murine Snrpn locus in mouse Chr 7C, we have found that the gene structure is very similar to the human, with ten conserved exons spanning 22 kb, the last seven of which are tightly clustered. The promoter of Snrpn is differentially methylated in ES cells and adult tissues, supporting a role for DNA methylation at this site in somatic establishment and/or maintenance of Snrpn imprinting. The first intron of the mouse and human genes contains structurally conserved G-rich clustered repeats which may play a role in establishing DNA methylation patterns associated with imprinting of this gene. On the basis of the conserved structural and imprinted features of the human SNRPN and mouse Snrpn genes, we suggest that imprinting mechanisms are conserved between human and mouse. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
