A monograph proposing the use of canine mammary tumours as a model for the study of hereditary breast cancer susceptibility genes in humans
21 Mar 2017
Abstract excerpt
Canines are excellent models for cancer studies due to their similar physiology and genomic sequence to humans, companion status and limited intra-breed heterogeneity. Due to their affliction to mammary cancers, canines can serve as powerful genetic models of hereditary breast cancers. Variants within known human breast cancer susceptibility genes only explain a fraction of familial cases. Thus, further discovery...
