Hello,
I have some questions about the lethality of homozygous white.
1. How exactly does the lethality manifest its self?
2. Do the babies die in-utero? Shortly after birth?
3. Does the dam give birth normally or does she have complications with the birth that cause problems for her health?
I have extensive biological training and education and genetics has always held a special fascination for me. I hope you will all forgive me for my morbid curiosity and understand that this is how we learn. Homozygous lethality is an extremely interesting topic and one that I would be interested in researching further. I know that many of you must have experience with this and I am hoping that you will share that information with me. If you do not wish to post graphic details here you are welcome to email me.
Thank you,
Erin
