Intragenic mutation of UBE3A in AS is the first examples of a genetic disorder of the ubiquitin-dependent proteolytic pathway in mammals and may represent an example of a human genetic disorder associated with a locus producing functionally distinct imprinted and biallelically expressed gene products.
NatureImprinted expression of the Igf2r gene depends on an intronic CpG island
583 Citations1997Anton Wutz, Oskar W. Smrzka +4 more
A primary role for region 2 is defined and a negligible role for chromosomal location is defined in Igf2r imprinting; they show that methylation imprints can maintain allelic expression and that expression competition could play a general role in imprinting.

The study of the molecular basis of abnormal imprinting in these disorders will facilitate the identification and characterization of other imprinted human disease loci.
The EMBO JournalCompetition—a common motif for the imprinting mechanism?
116 Citations1997Denise P. Barlow
The key to the imprinting mechanism may be a form of parental‐ specific expression‐competition between cis‐linked genes and not parental‐specific expression versus repression, which is viewed as ‘active’ on both parental chromosomes.
GenomicsGenomic Organization of theUBE3A/E6-AP Gene and Related Pseudogenes
56 Citations1998Tatsuya Kishino, Joseph Wagstaff
The UBE3A gene encodes the E6-AP ubiquitin-protein ligase and has recently been shown to be mutated in Angelman syndrome patients who lack 15q11-q13 deletions or chromosome 15 paternal uniparental disomy.
