Abstract excerpt
Thp is a large deletion on chromosome 17 which includes the maternal lethal gene Tme. Documentation of inheritance patterns suggests that Tme is an imprinted gene which is required for viability; maternal deletion is lethal while paternal deletion is viable. However, paternal transmission of Thp is rarely the expected 50%. We show here that paternally inherited Thp is lethal in some strains, providing evidence of...
