New Candidate Genes Identified for Controlling Mouse Gonadal Sex Determination and the Early Stages of Granulosa and Sertoli Cell Differentiation1
29 Oct 2009
Abstract excerpt
Mammalian gonadal sex-determining (GSD) genes are expressed in a unique population of somatic cells that differentiate into granulosa cells in XX gonads or Sertoli cells in XY gonads. The ability to efficiently isolate these somatic support cells (SSCs) during the earliest stages of gonad development would facilitate identifying 1) new candidate GSD genes that may be involved in cases of unexplained abnormal...
