Abstract excerpt
The homeodomain transcription factor Nkx3.1 and the cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor p27kip1 have both been implicated in prostate tumor suppression. In addition, both of these molecules demonstrate haploinsufficiency for tumor suppression, in which loss of a single allele is sufficient to lead to the development of preneoplastic or neoplastic lesions. We have generated mice carrying compound mutant alleles of...
