Abstract excerpt
The SM/J mouse strain is resistant to chemically-induced lung tumorigenesis despite having a haplotype, in the pulmonary adenoma susceptibility locus (Pas1) locus, that confers tumor susceptibility in other strains. To clarify this inconsistent genotype-phenotype correlation, we crossed SM/J mice with another resistant strain and conducted genome-wide linkage analysis in the (C57BL/6J × SM/J)F2 progeny exposed to...
