Abstract excerpt
Genetic background affects polyp development in the Multiple intestinal neoplasia (Apc(Min)) mouse model. The Modifier of Min 1 (Mom1) locus accounts for approximately 50% of the variation in polyp multiplicity. We generated reciprocal congenic lines, such that the recipient C57BL/6J (B6) strain carries a donor C3H/HeJ (C3H) Mom1 allele, and the recipient C3H strain carries a donor B6 Mom1 allele. Hybrid progeny...
