1 Aug 1999
Abstract excerpt
The protein kinase gene LKB1 has recently been identified as the gene mutated in the Peutz-Jeghers cancer predisposition syndrome. This condition is characterized by inherited susceptibility to a range of cancers but in particular those of the gastrointestinal tract. Here we have characterized the mouse Lkb1 gene. The mouse Lkb1 gene consists of 10 exons covering approximately 15 kb in length, maps to mouse...
