Mouse modifier genes in mammary tumorigenesis and metastasis.

Abstract excerpt

Tumorigenesis and metastasis are complex multistep processes. In addition to the numerous somatic mutations that facilitate cancer progression, there is abundant evidence that an individual's genetic background not only contributes to overall cancer risk, but also specifically influences metastatic potential. The handful of human susceptibility genes that have been identified thus far do not fully account for...
