Abstract excerpt
Hereditary renal carcinoma (RC) in the rat, originally reported by Eker in 1954, is an example of a Mendelian dominant predisposition to a specific cancer in an experimental animal. We previously reported that ionizing radiation induces additional tumors in a linear dose-response relationship, suggesting that in heterozygotes two events (one inherited, one somatic) are necessary to produce tumors. Recently, the...
