Abstract excerpt
Testicular germ cell tumors (TGCTs) are the most common cancer affecting young men. Although TGCTs are common and the genetic component of susceptibility is unusually strong, discovery of TGCT susceptibility genes in humans has been challenging. The 129/Sv inbred mouse strain is an important experimental model for studying the genetic control of TGCT susceptibility. It is the only inbred mouse strain with an...
