"Studies of mouse models for multistage carcinogenesis have led to the identification of a susceptibility locus for skin tumor development (Skts9) in the proximal region of mouse chromosome 16. This chromosome region shows a loss of heterozygosity or an allelic imbalance in mouse skin and pancreatic islet carcinoma, and has been associated with angiogenesis," according to researchers in the United States.
