Abstract excerpt
Data on the induction of small intestinal tumors, predominantly adenomas, by X radiation in Apc(Min/+) mice are reported. Comparison of these incidences with estimates of radiation-induced direct single gene mutation frequencies taken from the literature support the hypothesis that direct mutational loss of Apc+ is the sole requirement for initiation of adenoma. Furthermore, estimates of radiation-induced...
