Abstract excerpt
It has been shown previously that abnormal placental growth occurs in crosses and backcrosses between different mouse (Mus) species. In such crosses, late gestation placentas may weigh between 13 and 848 mg compared with a mean placental weight of approximately 100 mg in late gestation M. musculus intraspecific crosses. A locus on the X-chromosome was shown to segregate with placental dysplasia. Thus in the (M....
