Article Title: Morphological development of the mouse gonad in tda-1 XY sex reversal
Abstract: tda-1 XY sex reversal occurs when the Y chromosome of at least some populations of wild Mus musculus domesticus is placed on the C57BL/6J genomic background. Gross anatomical observations have previously revealed morphological similarities among fetal ovotestes of tab-1 and Tus-inherited XY sex reversals and BALB/cWt mosaic hermaphrodites. We studied the histology of tda-1 XY sex-reversed gonads, ranging in age from day 14 of gestation to adult. The obtained data revealed additional similarities with ovotestes of BALB/cWt mosaic hermaphrodites as well as with ovotestes of hermaphrodites found in XXsxr and XX/XY chimeras. It is proposed that ovotestes occurring in these various hermaphroditic conditions may be formed through a common pathway. © 1987, International Society of Differentiation. All rights reserved.
