Development of the mammalian gonad: the fate of the supporting cell lineage

A McLaren - Bioessays, 1991 - Wiley Online Library
Sex determination in mammals is mediated via the supporting cell lineage in the fetal gonad.
In the very early stages of gonadal development, the fate of the supporting cell population is …

Effect of single and compound knockouts of estrogen receptors α (ERα) and β (ERβ) on mouse reproductive phenotypes

Sox9 expression during gonadal development implies a conserved role for the gene in testis differentiation in mammals and birds

SM Da Silva, A Hacker, V Harley, P Goodfellow… - Nature …, 1996 - nature.com
Heterozygous mutations in SOX9 lead to a human dwarfism syndrome, Campomelic
