Interspecific hybridization between closely related species is commonly associated with decreased fertility or viability of F1 hybrids. Thus, in mouse interspecific hybrids, several different hybrid sterility genes that impair gametogenesis of the male hybrids have been described. We describe a novel effect in hybrids between different mouse species that manifests itself in abnormal growth of the placenta....
