Abstract excerpt
Women have inherited differences in their susceptibility to breast cancer, but the genes underlying this variation are difficult to identify. We have approached the problem of identifying breast cancer susceptibility genes by using a rat model. Inbred rat strains display differential susceptibilities to mammary carcinogenesis; the Copenhagen (COP) rat is resistant, while the Wistar-Furth (WF) rat is susceptible...
