Developmental defects and tumor predisposition in Rb mutant mice.

Abstract excerpt

Targeted gene disruption in the mouse germline permits the introduction of gene mutations similar to those found in inherited human diseases. New advances in gene targeting that enable cell type specific gene disruption in mice further increases the utility of mouse models to study genetic defects as found in cancer. Here we review the phenotypes observed in mice carrying germline mutated copies of the...
