Abstract excerpt
The congenital malformation gastroschisis has a genetic disposition in the inbred mouse strain HLG/Zte. It is increased after preconceptional irradiation of males or females. Radiation exposures during the meiotic stages are most efficient. This malformation can also be induced by ionising radiation when the exposure takes place during the preimplantation period especially during the zygote stage. This latter...
