Abstract excerpt
It has been reported that the MRL/MpJ mouse strain shows several unique phenotypes, including rapid wound healing, inherent collagen disease, heat shock-resistant spermatocytes, and metaphase-specific apoptosis (Msa) in the testis. In the present study, we found the genetic mutation associated with Msa by chromosomal mapping with 555 backcross progeny. The Sertoli cell index of abnormal metaphasic spermatocytes...
