Cre-mediated deletion of exons 3 and 4 of the mouse Brca2 gene occurring specifically in mammary epithelial cells of conditional female mutants carrying a combination of loxP-modified and null Brca2 alleles resulted in a high incidence (77%) of breast tumors that were often palpable and developed in one or more glands after long latency (time for median tumor-free survival of approximately 1.4 years; total of 40...
