Abstract excerpt
In an attempt to evaluate the roles of the mismatch repair gene Msh2 in genome maintenance and in development during the fetal stage, spontaneous mutations and several developmental indices were studied in Msh2-deficient lacZ-transgenic mouse fetuses. Mutation levels in fetuses were elevated at 9.5 dpc (days post coitum) when compared to wild-type mice, and the level of mutations continued to increase until the...
