Lexis/Nexis seems to be somewhat behind the FirstSearch version of MEDLINE (which gives 384 records for the 'genomic imprinting' search), but the searching language for Lexis/Nexis is much more flexible and powerful. The FirstSearch version is adequate for shotgun searches with simple terms, but once you are ready to do complex searches (seeking the work of particular researchers, or reducing large sets of results to essential articles) Lexis/Nexis is the preferred tool. A guide to searching Lexis/Nexis is available at the Reference Desk.

ABST: We have studied the promoter utilization and parental imprinting 
status of human IGF2 in three genetically informative hepatoblastomas 
from patients ranging in age from 9 months to 3 years. In all three 
cases, there is a downregulation of promoter P1 in the tumor tissues 
while the P2 and P3 promoters are upregulated compared to the normal 
liver. One of three patients displayed loss of imprinting (LOI) of IGF2 
in the tumor tissue. We also investigated the expression of the H19 gene 
in all three cases and the methylation pattern in H19 from the patient 
with LOI of IGF2. The expression of H19 was greatly reducedin all tumors. 
Monoallelic H19 expression however, was retained even in the casewhich 
showed LOI of IGF2. Unlike the situation in Wilms' tumor, no differences
in the methylation pattern between the normal liver and tumor tissues were
observed in the H19 promoter or 3' region, using HpII analysis. We show here,
that in contrast to the situation in Wilms' tumor, H19 expression is not a
prerequisite for maintaining a monoallelic IGF2 expression. (AUTHOR)
