Abstract excerpt
The incidence of neural tumors is sexually dimorphic in both, humans and rodents. The identification of genetic determinants contributing to sex-biased tumor development is an essential prerequisite for differential tumor prevention in males and females. F2 hybrids of inbred BDIV and BDIX rats, resistant and susceptible, respectively, to ethylnitrosourea-induced malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumors (MPNST)...
