Abstract excerpt
We previously reported that Dark-Agouti (DA) rats are highly susceptible to 4-nitroquinoline 1-oxide (4NQO)-induced tongue cancer (TC), whereas Wistar/Furth (WF) rats are barely susceptible. Linkage analysis of reciprocal (DAxWF)F2 rats demonstrated five quantitative trait loci, Tongue squamous cell carcinoma 1-5 (Tscc1-5) determining the size and number of the TCs. The major susceptibility locus Tscc1 is mapped...
