Mutations causing specific arrests in the development of mouse primordial germ cells and gonocytes.

Abstract excerpt

This review focuses on those mouse mutations that cause an effect on the morphology, viability, and/or behavior of primordial germ cells (PGCs) and gonocytes at specific steps of their fetal development up to the start of spermatogenesis, a few days after birth. To restrict the area covered, mice with mutations that cause abnormal hormone levels or mutations of genes not expressed in germ cells that secondarily...
