Abstract excerpt
Deviations from Mendelian 1:1 transmission ratio have been observed in mice and humans. With few exceptions, the mechanism leading to transmission-ratio distortion (TRD) remains obscure. We proposed that a genomic imprinting mechanism plays a key role in the genesis of grandparental origin-dependent TRD (Naumova et al. 2001). To further test this hypothesis, we analyzed the transmission of grandparental alleles...
