Abstract excerpt
Activating point mutations of the mouse Kras2 oncogene or its human homologue, KRAS, are critical for lung adenocarcinoma genesis, independent of the species. Significantly, in the mouse, several polymorphic Kras2 alleles have been identified, which cosegregate with genetic susceptibility to chemical induction of lung tumors. Moreover, a major lung tumor susceptibility locus, the Pas1 (Pulmonary adenoma...
