reproductive system
• at E10.5, E11.5 and E12.5
|
• increase in apoptosis of extragonadal primordial germ cells at E10.5 and E11.5
|
• fail to migrate rostrally at E10.5, remaining caudally distributed
• ectopic PGCs make up over 70% of the total PGCs at E11.5 compared to less than 5% in wild-type controls
|
• at E18.5, the genital tubercle is hypoplastic compared to in wild-type mice
