• female mice developed, exhibited normal folliculogenesis and germ cell development, and were fertile
|
• observed in areas of focal seminiferous tubule degeneration

• focal atrophy of the germinal epithelium by 2 months of age

• observed in areas of focal seminiferous tubule degeneration
|
• males developed Mullerian duct derivatives, including a uterus, oviducts, and a partial vagina that were superimposed upon the male reproductive system
• male mice had testes of normal size that were properly descended into the scrotal sac
• normal differentiation of male-specific Wolffian duct-derived tissue
|
• spermatogenesis was unimpaired and sperm was produced, however some males were infertile due to the presence of female reproductive organs that blocked sperm transfer
|
• some male mice sired offspring, however fewer litters relative to controls
