The <scp>129S1</scp> / <scp>SvImJ</scp> Mouse Strain Is Resistant to the Effects of Early Embryonic Alcohol and Other Sonic Hedgehog Inhibitors
129S1 embryos have higher expression of key Shh pathway genes and low apoptosis after alcohol, which may contribute to the alcohol-resistant phenotype seen in the 129S1/SvImJ strain, adding to the understanding of protective genetic factors in alcohol teratogenesis.
