Haploinsufficiency for odc modifies mouse skin tumor susceptibility.

Abstract excerpt

Numerous studies have linked overexpression of ornithine decarboxylase (Odc) gene with enhanced susceptibility to mouse skin tumorigenesis. However, there is little experimental evidence suggesting that modest reductions in Odc expression might reduce tumor susceptibility. To address this issue, here we report the use of the Odc(+/-) haploinsufficiency model, in which one copy of the murine Odc gene has been...
