Abstract excerpt
Maternal inheritance of targeted loss of function alleles encoding either the cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor 1C (Cdkn1c) or the insulin-like growth factor 2 receptor (Igf2r) leads to fully penetrant perinatal lethality in C57BL/6J mice due to genomic imprinting. Here, we demonstrate that there is a marked enhancement in postnatal viability of F(1) mice carrying either the ablated Igf2r ( approximately 32%) or...
