J:277088

Genomic imprinting refers to the pattern of monoallelic parent-of-origin-dependent gene expression where one of the two alleles at a locus is expressed and the other silenced. The authors searched for QTL exhibiting imprinting effects on mandible size and shape traits in a large F3 population of mice originating from an intercross of LG/J and SM/J inbred strains. Crossing of the (LG/J x SM/J)F1 hybrids produced 510 F2 mice that in turn were crossed to yield 200 F3 families containing a total of 1632 mice.

Both left and right sides of the mandibles in each mouse were separated at the mandibular symphysis, placed under a microscope, and their images were scanned into a computer. The authors then recorded x and y coordinates for 15 landmarks located around the outline of the mandible. A total of 1889 mice were available for analysis, 374 from the F2 generation and 1515 from the F3 generation.

A total of 353 SNP markers were scored for all available F2 and F3 mice by the Illumina Golden-Gate assay. These markers effectively covered all 19 autosomes, with an average interval of 45 cM between markers except for several regions in the genome where there was little polymorphism between the LG/J and SM/J strains. Haplotype reconstruction was accomplished with the PedPhase program that allowed the authors to distinguish each of the four genotypes at each SNP locus in all F3 mice.

The authors searched for QTL for mandible centroid size and shape in the F3 mice using the regression approach of Haley and Knott (1992) implemented with the canonical correlation (CANCORR) procedure in SAS (SAS Institute, 1992). If evidence for a QTL for mandible size or shape was found on a given chromosome, the authors tested for the presence of two QTL on that chromosome.

The authors discovered a total of 51 QTL affecting mandible size and shape:

Six QTL exhibited differences between reciprocal heterozygotes, the usual signature of imprinting effects. However, the authors' analysis showed that only one of these QTL (Mancz10) exhibited a pattern consistent with true imprinting effects, whereas reciprocal heterozygote differences in the other five all were due to maternal genetic effects. The authors concluded that genomic imprinting has a negligible effect on these specific morphometric traits, and that maternal genetic effects may account for many of the previously reported instances of apparent genomic imprinting.

The data suggest that the LG/J alleles tend to increase mandible size.
