|
• most postnatal lethality of mice with a paternal allele occurres around P4
• Background Sensitivity: survival is enhanced in M. m. castaneus cross
|
|
• 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
|
|
• 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
|
|
• mice inheriting a paternal allele exhibit a domed head phenotype
|
|
• 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
|
|
|
| ♀ | phenotype observed in females |
| ♂ | phenotype observed in males |
| N | normal phenotype |
|
• while the expected number of mice inheriting the paternal allele are present at E18, by P1 only one third of expected mice are present
|
|
• 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
|
|
• at E13 mice carrying a paternally inherited allele are 83% of wild-type in weight
|
|
• at E13 placental weight is 78% of wild-type and reaches 56% of wild-type at E18 in mice carrying a paternally inherited mutant allele
|
|
• with embryos inheriting a maternal allele
|
|
• at birth mice carrying a paternally inherited allele are 55% of wild-type in size
|
|
• at birth, mice carrying a paternally inherited allele are 53% of wild-type weight
|
|
• in mice carrying a paternally inherited allele the size reduction observed at birth is maintained into adulthood
|
|
• mice inheriting maternal allele measure 113% of wild-type and overgrowth reaches 108% of wild-type by P0
• mice inherting maternal allele have increased prenatal growth rates
|
|
• at E13 mice carrying a paternally inherited allele are 83% of wild-type in weight
