     ABSTRACT: The expression of three imprinted genes, H19, insulin-like 
               growth factor 2 and insulin-like growth factor 2 receptor, is 
               examined.  Results show that a normal level of DNA 
               methylation is required for controlling differential 
               expression of the paternal and maternal alleles of imprinted 
               genes.
