Studying the consequences of immediate loss of gene function in the intestine: APC.

Abstract excerpt

The use of mouse models to study neoplasia is proving particularly powerful in dissecting the mechanisms underlying disease initiation and progression. However, the majority of these models have been somewhat limited in studying the very early effects of loss of gene function, as tumour initiation relies upon either constitutive loss of gene function or spontaneous somatic loss of function. We have therefore...
