Abstract excerpt
Genetic background strongly influences the penetrance and phenotypic expression of SMAD4-associated intestinal tumorigenesis, yet the underlying modifier loci remain poorly defined. To investigate the genetic architecture of tumor susceptibility and systemic physiology, we analyzed 260 Smad4+/- × Collaborative Cross (CC)-F1 mice derived from 14 CC lines using 11 quantitative traits, including longitudinal body...
