The twLub2 chromosome was generated by rare recombination between a complete t haplotype and a wild-type form of mouse chromosome 17. This recombinant chromosome expresses a dominant lethal effect in all embryos that inherit the mutant chromosome from their mothers. The phenotype of this maternal effect is indistinguishable from that expressed by the previously described Thp deletion chromosome. It appears likely that the crossing over event that gave rise to twLub2 was unequal and resulted in the alteration or deletion of a gene (which is named the T-associated maternal effect locus, Tme) that must be inherited from the mother in order for normal development to proceed through late stages of gestation. The results presented here allow a mapping of the Tme locus between the quaking and tufted loci which are 3 cM apart within the proximal region of chromosome 17.
twLub2染色体是由完整的t单倍型与野生型小鼠17号染色体之间的罕见重组产生的。这条重组染色体在所有从母亲那里继承了突变染色体的胚胎中表现出显性致死效应。这种母体效应的表型与先前描述的Thp缺失染色体所表现的表型无法区分。产生twLub2的交叉事件似乎是不等的,并导致了一个基因(命名为T相关母体效应位点,Tme)的改变或缺失,该基因必须从母亲那里遗传才能使正常发育进行到妊娠后期。此处给出的结果使得能够将Tme位点定位在染色体17近端区域内相距3厘摩的颤抖和簇状位点之间。
