Abstract excerpt
Recent studies in mice have provided strong evidence for a modifier gene that is capable of effecting the expression of the mouse equivalent of familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP). A candidate gene has been proposed, namely secretory phospholipase A2 (sPLA2). Increased tumor number in mice was correlated with low levels of sPLA2 expression and the presence of truncating mutations within the sPLA2 gene. In an...
