December 2008 highlights from Biology of Reproduction

y. In a paper on p. 1038, Park et al. report genetic background effects on the phenotype produced by Dax1 (Nrob1) deficiency in mice. Intriguing work from several laboratories has demonstrated that the severity of the Dax1-deficiency phenotype is greatest on a C57BL/6J background and milder on a 129 genetic background. Park et al. studied individuals comprised of mixed, 129 and C57BL/6J backgrounds and defined a quantitative range of intermediate phenotypes and gene expression patterns (such as the augmentation of Stra8 expression by C57BL/6J background noted by others). Appreciating the significance of these results will require defined mapping crosses to determine the C57BL/6J alleles modifying gonadal sex determination and germ cell fate. Nonetheless, the collective studies to date highlight the importance of genetic context in the analysis of sex differentiation pathways.
