mortality/aging
• most postnatal lethality of mice with a paternal allele occurres around P4
• Background Sensitivity: survival is enhanced in M. m. castaneus cross
|
cellular
• abnormal imprinting of Igf2 occurs with mice receiving the maternal allele having increased growth rates in utero while mice receiving the paternal allele having decreased in utero growth rates
|
embryo
• severe growth retardation is seen at E13 through birth in mice inheriting a paternal allele
|
• placental weight ratios are more severely reduced than fetal weight ratios with mice inheriting a paternal allele
|
craniofacial
• mice inheriting a paternal allele exhibit a domed head phenotype
|
growth/size/body
• mice inheriting a paternal allele exhibit a domed head phenotype
|
• severe growth retardation is seen at E13 through birth in mice inheriting a paternal allele
|
• at birth, size of mice inheriting a paternal allele is less than 50% of normal
|
• adults with a paternal allele are only about 60% of the weight of wild-type littermates
|
• postnatal growth is also reduced in mice inheriting a paternal allele, with weight reaching a minimum at about 4 days of age
• adults with a paternal allele are only about 60% of the weight of wild-type littermates
|
• severe growth retardation is seen at E13 through birth in mice inheriting a paternal allele
