Tissue differences in the expressed allele. The figure shows comparison of the reference allele ratios of the same SNPs in the same individuals in brain and muscle. ZDBF2 is an example of the typical pattern of the same expressed allele in the two tissues; in IGF2, brain expresses a different allele than muscle, and GRB10 is strongly imprinted only in brain but has a slight signal of muscle expression from the opposite allele than in the brain. All the correlations are significant (p < 0.005).
