Abstract excerpt
Tuberous sclerosis 2 (Tsc2) gene is the target of a germline insertion in the Eker rat model of inherited cancer susceptibility. This tumor suppressor gene, when mutated, gives rise to a spectrum of epithelial and nonepithelial neoplasms in the rat, as well as multisystem involvement of hamartomas in the human. In this study, we characterized the rat Tsc2 cDNA and found that it is highly homologous with the human...
