Abstract excerpt
Trisomy 21 results in Down syndrome (DS) and causes phenotypes that may result from alterations of developmental processes. The Ts65Dn mouse is the most widely used genetic and phenotypic model for DS. We used over 1,500 offspring from Ts65Dn and two nontrisomic genetically similar control strains to investigate the influence of trisomy on developmental alterations and number of offspring. For the first time, we...
