Abstract excerpt
Analysis of seven candidate genes mapping in the 1-Mb region of the mouse pulmonary adenoma resistance 4 (Par4) locus revealed a single amino-acid change, consisting in a nonconservative Arg968Cys variation in the juxtamembrane domain of the Met proto-oncogene-encoded protein. The BALB/c strain (resistant allele) carried the Arg allele, whereas the SWR/J mouse strain (Par4-susceptible allele) carried the Cys...
