Caption

(A, B) A genetic complementation test demonstrates that Map3k4 resides in the Thp deletion of proximal mouse Chromosome 17. XY embryos doubly heterozygous for Map3k4^byg and Del(17)T^hp (XY Thp/+, byg/+), on the C3H/HeH background, exhibit a range of defects of gonad development similar to Map3k4^byg homozygotes, including testes with regions lacking clear cord morphology (bracket, A) and XY gonads with an overt ovarian appearance that lack Sox9 transcription (right-hand side gonad, A). Sex-reversed XY gonads express Wnt4, a marker of ovary development (central gonad, B), in contrast to XY controls.
