Male Infertility Is Responsible for Nearly Half of the Extinction Observed in the Mouse Collaborative Cross.

The extinction rate among pre-CC lines has been estimated at 95%. Male infertility played a large role in extinction as 47% of extinct lines had males that were infertile. Males from extinct lines had high variability in reproductive organ size, low sperm counts, low sperm motility, and a high rate of vacuolization of seminiferous tubules. In this study, the investigators supplied data comparing genetically fertile versus genetically infertile extinct lines. See also Odet1 and Odet2 for male fertility phenotypes in CC founder strains.
