| overexpression of ATRX in transgenic mice was associated with growth retardation, neural tube defects, and a high incidence of embryonic death, transgenic mice that survived to birth exhibited a high incidence of perinatal death as well as seizures, mild craniofacial anomalies, and abnormal behavior, in conclusion ATRX dosage is crucial for normal development and organization of the cortex | |
loss of ATRX function during reproductive senescence may contribute to the onset of aneuploidy in the female gamete, and the reduced fertility observed in ATRX knockdown female mice underscores the importance of this model to determine the molecular mechanisms of aneuploidy and its effects on female fertility  |

ScAtrxKO mice developed small testes and discontinuous tubules, due to prolonged G2/M phase and apoptosis of proliferating Sertoli cells during fetal life |
