MommeD mutants show abnormal embryonic development. Timed matings and intercrosses of MommeD mutants. (a)Wiz^MommeD30 mice; data show the number of mice observed (and in brackets the percentage) at 10.5 days post-coitum (dpc), 12.5 dpc, 14.5 dpc and at weaning. Representative embryos are shown. (b)Rif1^MommeD18 mice; data show the number of mice observed (and in brackets the percentage) at 10.5 to 12.5 dpc, 14.5 dpc and at weaning. na, not applicable. (c)Rlf mutants; data show the number of mice observed (and in brackets the percentage). Embryonic weights were measured from intercrosses of Rlf^MommeD34 and Rlf^MommeD28 mice. Homozygous embryos from both had a significant increase in weight variation at 17.5 dpc or 16.5 dpc, respectively. Weights for each litter were normalized to the average weight of wild-type embryos in that litter. Each data point represents an individual. Homozygotes were smaller than wild-type littermates at one week after birth. ns, not significant. (d)Setdb1^MommeD13 and Setdb1^MommeD17 mice; data show the number of mice observed (and in brackets the percentage). (e)Smarcc1^MommeD19 and Smarcc1^MommeD19 mated to wild-type mice revealed incomplete penetrance of heterozygous lethality after birth. Data show the number of mice (and in brackets the percentage). Weights of 17.5 dpc Smarcc1^MommeD19 embryos and pups were, on average, less than that of wild-type littermates (T-test, P < 0.0001) and showed greater variation (F-test, P < 0.05). Weights in each litter were normalized to the average weight of wild-type embryos in that litter. Each data point represents an individual. (f)Smarca4^MommeD39 heterozygotes showed reduced viability. Data show the number of mice and in brackets the percentage. Heterozygotes were smaller than their wild-type littermates. Smarc4^MommeD39/+ weighed less (T-test, P < 0.0001) and weights were more variable (F-test, P<0.0001) than wild types. Weights in each litter were normalized to the average weight of wild-type embryos in that litter. Each data point represents an individual.
