Effects of BRCA1 Transgene Expression on Murine Mammary Gland Development and Mutagen-Induced Mammary Neoplasia

<p>To characterize the role of <i>BRCA1</i> in mammary gland development and tumor suppression, a transgenic mouse model of <i>BRCA1</i> overexpression was developed. Using the mouse mammary tumor virus (MMTV) promoter/enhancer, transgenic mice expressing human BRCA1 or...
