Abstract

A new bigenic mouse model, engineered with the overexpression of PSGR and the knockout of PTEN, has been used to study the relationship between 2 genes and disease progression. A study in Oncogene (Rodriguez et al.) has shown that these 2 genetic polymorphisms synergistically promote the development of prostate cancer.
