Differential expression of two genes located on the X chromosome between male and female in vitro-produced bovine embryos at the blastocyst stage
1 Feb 2000
Abstract excerpt
The potentially unbalanced expression at preimplantation developmental stages of X-linked genes might be responsible of the faster development of male than female embryos in vitro. Two genes located on the X chromosome, glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) and hypoxanthine phosphoribosyl transferase (HPRT), are involved in controlling the amount of oxygen radicals, and hence they might have influence in...
