Abstract excerpt
Some herds of miniature swine are genetically predisposed to cutaneous melanoma. To test if swine melanoma susceptibility could be linked to the CDKN2A gene, which is involved in a proportion of 9p21-linked human familial melanoma, we performed a genetic analysis of miniature pigs of the MeLiM strain. F(1) and backcross animals were generated by crossing 1 MeLiM boar with healthy Duroc sows. We isolated the swine...
