Abstract excerpt
Cre-mediated excision of exon 11 of the breast-tumour suppressor gene Brca1 in mouse mammary epithelial cells causes increased apoptosis and abnormal ductal development. Mammary tumour formation occurs after long latency and is associated with genetic instability characterized by aneuploidy, chromosomal rearrangements or alteration of Trp53 (encoding p53) transcription. To directly test the role of p53 in...
