Abstract excerpt
The identification of genes that control susceptibility to testicular germ-cell tumours (TGCTs), the most common cancer affecting young men, has been difficult. In laboratory mice, TGCTs arise from primordial germ cells in only the 129 inbred strains, and susceptibility is under multigenic control. The spontaneously arising mutation Ter (ref. 5) on mouse chromosome 18 (Refs 6,7) increases TGCT frequency on a...
