Abstract excerpt
The present study was carried out to determine the extent to which genetic factors modify the incidence of radiation-induced bone tumorigenesis in mice, and to map putative susceptibility genes. We conducted a genome-wide linkage analysis in a cohort of 47 interstrain backcrossed mice. After the mice were injected with the bone-seeking alpha-particle-emitting radionuclide (227)Th, 21 of the mice developed...
