Abstract excerpt
It has previously been shown that abnormal placental development, i.e., hyper- and hypoplasia, occurs in crosses and backcrosses between different mouse (Mus) species. These defects are caused mainly by abnormal growth of the spongiotrophoblast. The precise genetic basis for these placental malformations has not been determined. However, a locus that contributes to the abnormal development (Ihpd: interspecific...
