Dear colleagues,

Recently I have obtained a mouse chromosomal localization for a gene (named XX) which is involved in tumorigenesis in man. Because of the presence of a previously mapped (but still unknown) susceptibility gene in this chromosomal area, the gene XX is a good candidate for genes involved in susceptibility to cancer in mice. To test this gene, I am now looking for collaboration with people involved in study of tumorigenesis in mice and that have suitable mice.

Any information on this topic will be useful.
Thanking you in advance,
Best regards
Dominique Rocha
