Abstract excerpt
The incidence of canine mammary tumours (CMTs) differs significantly between breeds, strongly supporting an influence of genetic risk factors. We aimed at identifying germline genetic variations in mammary tumour-associated genes in dogs and survey whether these might alter the encoded proteins. We sequenced 11 genes (BRCA1, BRCA2, BRIP1, CDH1, CHEK2, EGFR, ESR1, HER2, PTEN, STK11 and TP53) and screened for...
