Abstract excerpt
In mice heterozygous for p53 (Trp53(+/-)), the incidence of mammary tumors varies among strains, with C57BL/6 being resistant and BALB/c being susceptible. Mammary tumor phenotypes were examined in female Trp53(+/-) F1 mice (C57BL/6 x BALB/c;n = 19) and N2 backcross mice [(C57BL/6 x BALB/c) x BALB/c] (n = 224). Susceptibility to mammary tumors segregated as a dominant phenotype in F1 females, but a higher...
