Abstract excerpt
Inactivation of the adenomatous polyposis coli (Apc) gene by loss of the wild-type Apc allele (LOH) is a prerequisite for the development of intestinal adenomas in Msh2 proficient Min (Apc+/-Msh2+/+) mice. In contrast, adenomas from Msh2 deficient Min (Apc+/-Msh2-/-) mice are not usually associated with LOH. Given the role of Msh2 in post-replicative DNA repair, this study investigated whether Msh2 deficiency...
