A natural WNT signaling variant potently synergizes with Cdkn2ab loss in skin carcinogenesis
Abstract
Cdkn2ab knockout mice develop skin tumours but this phenotype is lost on backcrossing of the mice. Here, the authors describe a genetic variant encompassing Wnt7b that synergises with Cdkn2ab loss and is required for tumour formation in these mice.
