Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: To identify genes which influence the fibrotic response to thoracic cavity radiotherapy, we combined a genome wide single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) association evaluation of inbred strain response with prior linkage and gene expression data. MATERIAL AND METHODS: Mice were exposed to 18Gy whole thorax irradiation and survival, bronchoalveolar cell differential, and histological...
