This hypothesis was confirmed by a series of studies we conducted recently in dcc heterozygous mice showing that mice expressing reduced levels of DCC exhibit profound changes in mesocorticolimbic DA organization and function in adulthood.
If confirmed, this biomarker may provide information about the androgenic hormonal milieu during fetal development and may be useful in studies of reproductive development and function in adulthood.
