• early blastocysts are present in approximate Mendelian ratios at E3.5 (30% versus expected 25%, n=33); no homozygous embryos are recovered at E7.5
• however, excess resorption sites suggest that embryos elicit a decidual response in vivo
|
reproductive system
• in vitro, blastocysts fail to hatch and are dead after 3 days in culture, never forming outgrowths
