Abstract excerpt
We have created a knockin mutant mouse by targeting a mutation (PV) into the thyroid hormone receptor beta gene (TRbetaPV mouse). TRbetaPV/PV mice, but not TRbetaPV/+ mice, spontaneously develop follicular thyroid carcinoma. To identify other genetic changes in the TRbeta gene that could also induce thyroid carcinoma, we crossed TRbetaPV mice with TRbeta-/- mice. As TRbetaPV/- mice (mutation of one TRbeta allele...
