Effect of the W mutation, for white belly spot, on testicular germ cell differentiation in mice.

Journal of reproduction and fertility - 1 Nov 1991

Sawada K, Sakamaki K, Nishimune Y

Abstract excerpt

The effect of the mutation for white belly spot controlled by the dominant gene W on spermatogenesis in mice was examined by experimental cryptorchidism and its surgical reversal. The course of spermatogenesis from spermatogonia to spermatid was normal in intact testes of W/+ mice. In cryptorchid testes, there was no difference in the number and activity of Type A spermatogonia between the testes of W/+ and +/+...
