Human MAGEL2 expression during embryonic development. (A) CS16, the equivalent of 5.5 weeks into embryonic development. MAGEL2 expression is noted in the inferior ganglion of the vagus (IGV) nerve and the spinal ganglia (SG). (B) At CS19, 6 weeks into development, there are high levels of mRNA transcripts in the developing hypothalamus (Hyp), ventral diencephalon (VD), and (C) spinal cord (S). (D) At CS20, 7 weeks into development, strong transcript staining is present throughout the VD and in both the RP and PP. (E) A magnified image of the RP and PP from image (D). (F) At CS23, 8 weeks into development, MAGEL2 expression is maintained in the Hyp and RP, with some expression in the trigeminal ganglia (TG).
