Genomic imprinting is an epigenetic mode of gene regulation that results in expression of the autosomal ‘imprinted’ genes from only a single allele, determined exclusively by parental origin. To date over 20 imprinted genes have been identified in mouse and man and these appear to lie in clusters in restricted regions on a subset of chromosomes. This may be a critical feature of imprinting suggesting a domain-type mode of regulation. Imprinted domains are replicated asynchronously, show sex-specific meiotic recombination frequencies and have CpG-rich regions that are differentially methylated, often associated with the imprinted genes themselves. Mouse distal chromosome 7 is one such domain, containing at least nine imprinted genes spanning over 1 Mb of DNA. For the maternally expressed p57Kip2 gene, passage through the female germline is essential to generate the active state, whereas passage through the male germline is needed to force the maternally expressed H19 gene into an inactive state. It is therefore possible that the mouse distal chromosome 7 imprinted domain is actually composed of two or more independently regulated subdomains.

Imprinted genomic regions have been defined by the production of mice with uniparental inheritance or duplication of homologous chromosome regions. With most of the genome investigated, paternal duplication of only distal chromosomes 7 and 12 results in the lack of offspring, and prenatal lethality is presumed. Aberrant expression of imprinted genes in these two autosomal regions is therefore strongly implicated in the periimplantation lethality of androgenetic embryos. We report that mouse embryos with paternal duplication of distal chromosome 7 (PatDup.d7) die at midgestation and lack placental spongiotrophoblast. Thus, the much earlier death of androgenones must involve paternal duplication of other autosomal regions, acting independently of or synergistically with PatDup.d7. The phenotype observed is similar, if not identical to, that resulting from mutation of the imprinted distal chromosome 7 gene, Mash2, which in normal midgestation embryos exhibits spongiotrophoblast-specific maternally active/paternally inactive (m+/p-) allelic expression. Thus, the simplest explanation for the PatDup.d7 phenotype is p-/p- expression of this gene. We also confirm that PatDup.d7 embryos lack H19 RNA and posses excess Igf2 RNA as might be expected from the parental-specific activities of these genes in normal embryos.
