A Dominant Mutation That Predisposes to Multiple Intestinal Neoplasia in the Mouse

Moser, Amy Rapaich, Pitot, Henry C., Dove, William F.·1990·Science

Abstract

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.

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • ApcMin/+ mice carry a mutation predisposing them to intestinal adenomas and are used as a colon cancer model.

    “ApcMin/+ mice have a nonsense mutation at codon 850 in the Apc (Adenomatous polyposis coli) gene that predisposes them to both small and large intestinal adenomas, thus these mice have been used as a model of colon cancer (359).”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
