Genetic Control of Spermatogenesis in Mice

  • Chapter
Spermatogenesis Genetic Aspects

Part of the book series: Results and Problems in Cell Differentiation ((RESULTS,volume 15))

Abstract

In this chapter I shall review evidence for direct genetic control of spermatogenesis in mice from two perspectives. First, I shall consider genetic conditions affecting the process of spermatogenesis: both specific gene mutations and chromosome anomalies causing interruption of the spermatogenic process. Second, I shall discuss the molecular evidence for direct gene action during spermatogenesis, and for changes in the patterns of gene and chromosome activity during spermatogenesis that might be implicated in controlling events.
