Abstract excerpt
In earlier studies it was observed that the genetic background significantly affected the phenotype of a transgene-induced mammary tumor. Tumors arising in an (I/LnJ x PyMT) F1 hybrid background appeared earlier than in the FVB/N-TgN(MMTV-PyVT)(634Mul) parent, but accumulated less tumor mass, indicating a net decrease in tumor growth. Quantitative genetic mapping in a backcross identified three loci that were...
