Abstract excerpt
A Bloom's deficient mouse model (Blm(m3/m3)) has been shown to induce colorectal tumorigenesis when crossed with Apc+/Min mice. Here, we investigated whether the Blm(m3/m3) genotype could induce tumorigenesis in extracolonic tissues in tuberous sclerosis 1-deficient (Tsc1+/-) mice that are predisposed to renal cystadenomas and carcinomas. Genotyping of offspring from Tsc1+/- Blm+/m3 intercrosses showed that a...
