Abstract excerpt
An inbred mouse strain HLG shows a high incidence of gastroschisis after X-ray exposure to the zygotes. About 11% of the fetuses display this malformation after irradiation with 1 Gy. The C57BL-strain does not show the increased frequency of gastroschisis after radiation-exposure to the zygotes. The genetic background of this malformation was investigated in a backcross of HLG x C57BL females to HLG males. The...
