Gene: [07q32/MEST] mesoderm specific transcript (mouse) homolog; paternally expressed gene 1 (PEG1); [PEG1 ]

COM

Nishita-1996 mapped a human homolog of the mouse Mest gene to 7q32. The human PEG1/MEST is an imprinted gene expressed from a paternal allele and is located on 7q31-q32, near D7S649 (Kobayashi-1997)."

TIS

Southern blot analysis showed that the MEST gene is expressed in all major fetal organs and tissues, which does not contradict the mesoderm-specific expression (Nishita-1996)."

ASS

Nishita et al. suggested that MEST is involved in the causation of Russell Silver syndrome (GEM:00.0/RSS) which is characterized by pre- and postnatal growth retardation (Nishita-1996)."
