reproductive system
• loss of oocytes perinatally or soon after birth
• oocytes present in ovaries of fetal and newborn mice but absent at 6 week old
• low Msh4 foci numbers in late zygotene-pachytene spermatocytes and oocytes
• lack of Mlh1 foci in spermatocytes and oocytes
• chromosome axes unaligned and mostly unsynapsed in late zygotene-pachytene in spermatocytes
• unsynapsed or low level synapsed chromosome axes in 55% of early and 41% of late pachytene oocytes
• 53% of synaptonemal complex stretches were non-homologous in spermatocytes
• atrophic, barely discernible and completely devoid of oocytes at 6 weeks old
• absence of late prophase spermatocytes and postmeiotic cells
• apoptosis of spermatocytes in epithelial cycle stage IV testis tubules
• arrest at the mid-pachytene stage
