Dissecting genetic effects with imprinting
*Correspondence: José M. Álvarez-Castro, Department of Genetics, Veterinary Faculty, University of Santiago de Compostela, Avda Carvalho Calero, s/n, ES-27002 Lugo, Galiza, Spain e-mail: [email protected] Models of genetic effects are mathematical representations of a genotype-to-phenotype (GP) map that, rather than accounting for a raw map assigning phenotypes to genotypes, rely on pa...
متن کاملInfluence of mom and dad: quantitative genetic models for maternal effects and genomic imprinting.
The expression of an imprinted gene is dependent on the sex of the parent it was inherited from, and as a result reciprocal heterozygotes may display different phenotypes. In contrast, maternal genetic terms arise when the phenotype of an offspring is influenced by the phenotype of its mother beyond the direct inheritance of alleles. Both maternal effects and imprinting may contribute to resemb...
متن کاملA model for family-based case-control studies of genetic imprinting and epistasis
Genetic imprinting, or called the parent-of-origin effect, has been recognized to play an important role in the formation and pathogenesis of human diseases. Although the epigenetic mechanisms that establish genetic imprinting have been a focus of many genetic studies, our knowledge about the number of imprinting genes and their chromosomal locations and interactions with other genes is still s...
متن کاملA General Statistical Framework for Dissecting Parent-of-origin Effects Underlying Endosperm Traits in Flowering Plants1
Genomic imprinting has been thought to play an important role in seed development in flowering plants. Seed in a flowering plant normally contains diploid embryo and triploid endosperm. Empirical studies have shown that some economically important endosperm traits are genetically controlled by imprinted genes. However, the exact number and location of the imprinted genes are largely unknown due...
متن کاملMaternal effects as the cause of parent-of-origin effects that mimic genomic imprinting.
Epigenetic effects are increasingly recognized as an important source of variation in complex traits and have emerged as the focus of a rapidly expanding area of research. Principle among these effects is genomic imprinting, which has generally been examined in analyses of complex traits by testing for parent-of-origin-dependent effects of alleles. However, in most of these analyses maternal ef...
