Abstract excerpt
Genetic background affects the susceptibility to mammary tumor development in Apc(Min/+) mice. Here we report the identification of four novel modifier loci that influence different aspects of mammary tumor development in Apc(Min/+) mice. Analysis of tumor development in a backcross of (FVBB6 Apc(Min/+)) x B6 Apc(Min/+) mice has identified a modifier on chromosome 9 that significantly affects tumor multiplicity,...
