Figure 4.
Genomic imprinting and associated pathologies. Predicted patterns of parent-of-origin-specific gene expression and concomitant phenotypes for loci that are either promoters or inhibitors of belligerence (a) or bravery (b), under normal conditions and also as a result of three different mutational or epimutational perturbations: gene deletion, imprinting disruption, or uniparental disomy. Genes are either of maternal-origin (orange) or paternal-origin (blue) and are either silenced (crosses) or expressed (arrows).
