Abstract excerpt
Maternal genetic factors and/or fetal genetic factors contribute to variations in response to prenatal alcohol exposure. To assess the contribution of maternal genotype to ethanol teratogenesis, a reciprocal cross study was conducted in an animal model using C57BL/6J (B6) and long-sleep (LS) mice. B6 mice are more susceptible than LS mice to prenatal ethanol-induced malformations but both mouse stocks are...
