reproductive system

|
• significantly fewer sperm are recovered from heterozygotes compared to wild-type mice
|
|
|
• pachytene spermatocytes are unaffected, while the number of haploid spermatids is significantly lower compared to wild-type mice
• Background Sensitivity: this affect is more pronounced on an inbred 129S6/SvEvTac background than on an outbred 129S6/SvEvTac x MF1 background

|
• the conception rate was reduced to 16% compared to 90% for wild-type mice
• on an inbred 129S6/SvEv background no offspring were obtained from heterozygous matings
