Abstract excerpt
Overexpression of an ornithine decarboxylase (ODC) transgene greatly increases the susceptibility of mouse skin to carcinogen-induced tumor development. Like many phenotypes in transgenic models, this enhanced susceptibility phenotype is strongly influenced by genetic background. We have mapped tumor-modifier genes in intraspecific crosses between transgenic K6/ODC mice on a susceptible strain background...
