• severity of phenotype is transmitted, particularly through males
• penetrant heterozygous dams transmit 46% penetrant and 54% silent offspring and non-penetrant heterozygous dams transmit 30% penetrant and 70% silent offspring
• penetrant heterozygous sires transmit 76% penetrant offspring while non-penetrant heterozygous sires transmit only 60% penetrant offspring.
• the LTR/intron 6 region is heavily methylated in non-penetrant heterozygotes and relatively hypomethylated in penetrant heterozygotes
