Abstract excerpt
The present study shows that the H19 and Igf2r genes, which are imprinted and expressed solely from maternal alleles, are expressed in an unregulatable manner in mouse uniparental, androgenetic, and parthenogenetic fetuses at day 9.5 of gestation. In the androgenetic fetuses, the H19 and Igf2r genes were respectively expressed at 12 and 40% of the levels in biparental fetuses. In addition, the expression of both...
