More than one-half billion people are obese, and despite progress in genetic research, much of the heritability of obesity remains enigmatic. Here, we identify a Trim28-dependent network capable of triggering obesity in a non-Mendelian, “on/off” manner. Trim28+/D9 mutant mice exhibit a bi-modal body-weight distribution, with isogenic animals randomly emerging as either normal or obese and few intermediates. We find that the obese-“on” state is characterized by reduced expression of an imprinted gene network including Nnat, Peg3, Cdkn1c, and Plagl1 and that independent targeting of these alleles recapitulates the stochastic bi-stable disease phenotype. Adipose tissue transcriptome analyses in children indicate that humans too cluster into distinct sub-populations, stratifying according to Trim28 expression, transcriptome organization, and obesity-associated imprinted gene dysregulation. These data provide evidence of discrete polyphenism in mouse and man and thus carry important implications for complex trait genetics, evolution, and medicine. Trim28 haploinsufficiency triggers stochastic bi-stable obesity or polyphenism Non-classical imprinted gene dysregulation specifies “on” versus “off” obese states Peg3 and Nnat perturbation trigger stochastic bi-stable obesity Human BMI distributions and transcriptomes suggest Trim28-associated subpopulations TRIM28 insufficiency in both mouse and human leads to polyphenism, wherein lean and obese phenotypes can arise from the identical genotypes through dysregulation of an imprinted gene network.
