Abstract excerpt
We have found previously that all spontaneous intestinal adenomas from Apc+/ApcMin mice lose the wild type Apc marker on two genetic backgrounds. On the (AKR x B6)F1 background, this event involves loss of the entire homolog of mouse chromosome 18 carrying Apc+. This chromosome carries both the Mcc and Dcc genes, which are homologs of genes that have been implicated in human colorectal cancer. To determine...
