Abstract excerpt
A series of allelic mutations in the tumor suppressor Brca1 have been created to study mechanisms underlying BRCA1-associated tumorigenesis. Brca1 is essential in maintaining genome integrity through its involvement in DNA damage repair, G(2)-M cell-cycle checkpoint and centrosome duplication. The loss of Brca1 is not sufficient for malignant transformation, rather, it triggers multiple genetic alterations,...
