Loss of Heterozygosity Occurs via Mitotic Recombination in Trp53 +/− Mice and Associates with Mammary Tumor Susceptibility of the BALB/c Strain
1 Aug 2004
Abstract excerpt
Loss of heterozygosity (LOH) occurs commonly in cancers causing disruption of tumor suppressor genes and promoting tumor progression. BALB/c-Trp53(+/-) mice are a model of Li-Fraumeni syndrome, exhibiting a high frequency of mammary tumors and other tumor types seen in patients. However, the frequency of mammary tumors and LOH differs among strains of Trp53(+/-) mice, with mammary tumors occurring only on a...
