| Abstract: | Inbred strains of mice differ in their response to the embryopathic effects of phenytoin (PHT). A/J animals, the most susceptible strain, were mated to C57BL/6J mice, the most resistant strain. The susceptibility of the F1 hybrid offspring was determined by the susceptibility of the mother. B6AF1 animals were as resistant as C57BL/6J parental mice, and AB6F1 hybrids were as susceptible as A/J mice. This was especially evident when orofacial anomalies were tallied. (B6A)F2 hybrid offspring were as resistant as their C57BL/6J grandparents. |
