Rapid Colorectal Adenoma Formation Initiated by Conditional Targeting of the <i>Apc</i> Gene
3 Oct 1997
Abstract excerpt
Familial adenomatous polyposis coli (FAP) is a disease characterized by the development of multiple colorectal adenomas, and affected individuals carry germline mutations in the APC gene. With the use of a conditional gene targeting system, a mouse model of FAP was created that circumvents the embryonic lethality of Apc deficiency and directs Apc inactivation specifically to the colorectal epithelium. loxP sites...
