FIGURE 4.
QTL Ddiab2d associated serum glucose level at necropsy (GLC). There are highly significant positive additive effects in the full population (A), which is reflected in all cohorts (B–C). Both males and females have significant imprinting effects, but the imprinting values are of the opposite signs: in males the imprinting value is negative and the effect is maternal expression. In females the imprinting value is positive and the effect is paternal expression. Additionally, females show significant under-dominance, which affects the magnitude of the imprinting effects seen in this cohort. The dominance effects are seen when the two reciprocal heterozygotes are combined (D). *p ≤ 0.05; ***p ≤ 0.001
