Genetic Influences on Craniofacial Outcome in an Avian Model of Prenatal Alcohol Exposure
1 Jan 2001
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Understanding the basis for ethanol's teratogenic effects may inform the etiology of fetal alcohol syndrome. Here we investigate how genetic background and susceptibility to ethanol-induced neural crest apoptosis contribute to the distinctive craniofacial phenotype observed after prenatal alcohol exposure. METHODS: Nine different chick strains were exposed to ethanol at gastrulation. The sensitivity...
