Inactivation of<i>Brca2</i>cooperates with<i>Trp53</i><sup>R172H</sup>to induce invasive pancreatic ductal adenocarcinomas in mice
1 Jun 2011
Abstract excerpt
An inactivating germline mutation in BRCA2 is the most common known genetic basis for familial pancreatic cancer (FPC), accounting for 5-10% of inherited cases. A genetically engineered mouse model of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) arising on the backdrop of Brca2 deficiency is likely to elucidate valuable diagnostic and therapeutic insights for FPC. Both Brca2 alleles were conditionally deleted during...
