A genomic imprinting defect in mice traced to a single gene.
Mammalian androgenones have two paternally or sperm-derived genomes. In mice (Mus musculus) they die at peri-implantation due to the misexpression of imprinted genes-the genes that are expressed monoallelically according to the parent of origin. The misexpressions involved are poorly defined. To gain further insight, we examined the causes of midgestation death of embryos with paternal duplicat...
متن کاملGenomic Imprinting: An Obsession with Depilatory Mice
Excessive grooming in mice has been promoted as a model of human obsessive-compulsive disorders. A recent paper adds Grb10 to the list of genes with effects on behavioral hair loss, with the added twist that this time the gene is imprinted.
متن کاملGenomic Imprinting of a Human Apoptosis Gene Homologue, TSSC31
Genomic imprinting is an epigenetic modification of the gamete or zygote leading to parental origin-specific gene expression in somatic cells of the offspring. We have previously identified a cluster of imprinted genes on human chromosome lip 15.5, a region involved in Beckwith-Wiede111:11111 syndrome, Wilms" tumor, and ovarian, breast, and lung cancer. Here we show that TSSC3, which is homolog...

متن کاملGenomic Imprinting
BACKGROUND Genomic imprinting is the inheritance out of Mendelian borders. Many of inherited diseases and human development violates Mendelian law of inheritance, this way of inheriting is studied by epigenetics. AIM The aim of this review is to analyze current opinions and options regarding to this way of inheriting. RESULTS Epigenetics shows that gene expression undergoes changes more com...
