TLDR
The genetic mapping of a locus that strongly modifies tumor number in Min/+ animals is reported, and this gene, Mom-1 (Modifier of Min-1), maps to distal chromosome 4 and controls about 50% of genetic variation in tumorNumber in two intraspecific backcrosses.About:

TL;DR: Results provide direct genetic evidence that COX-2 plays a key role in tumorigenesis and indicate that COx-2-selective inhibitors can be a novel class of therapeutic agents for colorectal polyposis and cancer.
Genetic Dissection of Complex Traits
TL;DR: The current state of the genetic dissection of complex traits is summarized in this paper, which describes the methods, limitations, and recent applications to biological problems, including linkage analysis, allele-sharing methods, association studies, and polygenic analysis of experimental crosses.
Journal ArticleDOI
Caught up in a Wnt storm: Wnt signaling in cancer.
TL;DR: This review considers the spectra of tumors arising from active Wnt signaling and attempts to place perspective on recent data that begin to elucidate the mechanisms prompting uncontrolled cell growth following induction of Wnt signalling.

Mapping mendelian factors underlying quantitative traits using rflp linkage maps
Eric S. Lander,David Botstein +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a set of analytical methods that modify and extend the classical theory for mapping such quantitative trait loci (QTLs) are described, and explicit graphs are provided that allow experimental geneticists to estimate, in any particular case, the number of progeny required to map QTLs underlying a quantitative trait.

TL;DR: DNA from 61 unrelated patients with adenomatous polyposis coli (APC) was examined for mutations in three genes located within a 100 kb region deleted in two of the patients, and data have established that DP2.5 is the APC gene.
