The previously reported earlier onset of pituitary tumours in cross-bred mice inheriting a mutant Rb-1 allele paternally has been ascribed to imprinting of an Rb-1-linked gene. Here, we demonstrate that, as predicted from this mechanism, there is no effect of the parent of origin of the mutation in inbred mice.
先前报道称,通过父系遗传突变Rb - 1等位基因的杂交小鼠垂体肿瘤发病较早,这归因于与Rb - 1相关基因的印记。在此,我们证明,正如从该机制所预测的那样,在近交系小鼠中,突变的起源亲本没有影响。
