Identification of a gene network contributing to hypertrophy in callipyge skeletal muscle.

Abstract excerpt

The callipyge mutation in sheep results in postnatal skeletal muscle hypertrophy in the pelvic limbs and loins with little or no effect on anterior skeletal muscles. Associated with the phenotype are changes in the expression of a number of imprinted genes flanking the site of the mutation, which lies in an intergenic region at the telomeric end of ovine chromosome 18. The manner in which these local changes in...
