Susceptibility to urethane-induced lung adenomas in mice has a polygenic mode of inheritance, with no obvious discontinuity in lung tumour counts among 37 AXB recombinant inbred strains. However, mean tumour counts were markedly higher in strains carrying the A/J allele at the Kras2 and H2 complex than in those carrying the C57BL/ allele. In 162 F2 hybrids and small numbers of both backcrosses between strain A/J...
