Abstract excerpt
ARHI is a novel imprinted tumor suppressor gene. To study its function in vivo, we have developed transgenic mice that overexpress ARHI. Offspring bearing the transgene had significantly lower body weights than did nontransgenic littermates. In addition, strong expression of the ARHI transgene was associated with greatly impaired mammary gland development and lactation, failure of ovarian folliculogenesis...
