Epigenetics and human disease

Jean-Pierre J. Issa & Stephen B. Baylin

The Johns Hopkins Oncology Center, 424 North Bond Street, Baltimore, Maryland 21231, USA

Altered IGF2 imprinting in somatic overgrowth provides further evidence for the involvement of epigenetics in human disease (pages 311−316).
