In a pedigree derived from a mouse treated with the mutagen ethylnitrosourea, a mutation
has been identified that predisposes to spontaneous intestinal cancer. The mutant gene was
found to be dominantly expressed and fully penetrant. Affected mice developed multiple
adenomas throughout the entire intestinal tract at an early age.
