Abstract excerpt
Min mice provide a good model of human familial adenomatous polyposis. Recently, we have reported on two recombinant inbred lines (I and V) and the location of a modifier (Mom3) close to Apc, which altered polyp numbers in our mice possibly by modifying the frequency of wild-type (WT) allele loss at Apc; mice with severe disease (line V) showed elevated rates of loss. We now show that in line I only, a single...
