The role of androgens on the sexual dimorphism of mandible shape was investigated in mice carrying the X-linked gene for testicular feminization (Tfm), which is known to determine a profound insensitivity to testosterone and is associated with a severe reduction in androgen receptor levels in Tfm/Y males. Mandible shape analysis in an inbred strain of mice segregating for the Ta (tabby) and Tfm mutations showed...
