title: XO monosomy is associated with reduced birthweight and lowered weight gain in the mouse.
abstract: The growth of XO mice and their XX sisters was followed from the day of birth up to 15 weeks post partum. XO mice were underweight at birth, and grew more slowly than XX mice in the preweaning period. Some, but not all, of this decrease in growth rate was attributable to an effect of the reduced birth weight.
