We and others have previously shown that the overexpression of insulin-like growth factor 2 (IGF2), loss of imprinting at the IGF2/H19 locus, and amplification of pleomorphic adenoma gene 1 (PLAG1) are common features in HB, suggesting a critical role of the IGF axis in hepatoblastomagenesis. The gene discussed is H19; the disease is hemoglobin measurement.
