Germ cell loss in the XXY male mouse: Altered X-chromosome dosage affects prenatal development
1 Feb 1998
Abstract excerpt
Male mammals with two X chromosomes are sterile due to the demise of virtually all germ cells; however, the underlying reasons for the germ cell loss remain unclear. The use of a breeding scheme for the production of XXY male mice has allowed us to experimentally address the question of when and why germ cells die in the XXY testis and whether the defect is due to the presence of an additional X chromosome in the...
