aReported by the National Institute for Environmental Health Sciences. For this comparison, only histological malignant lesions were scored as tumors; adenomas and other benign lesions were not included.
bp < 0.00001 from the Fisher's exact test of previously published tumor incidence in FVB/N wild-type mice vs WapInt6sh multiparous females (row 1 vs row 5).
cIncludes all frank tumors classified histopathologically as adenomas or adenocarcinomas.
dp = 0.0006 from the Fisher's exact test of previously published tumor incidence in FVB/N wild-type multiparous mice vs WapInt6sh multiparous females (row 2 vs row 5).
eHistologically, a papillary adenocarcinoma
fTotal mice included 21 heterozygous and 5 homozygous WapInt6sh transgenic mice from J1 founder line that survived 24 months or longer.
gp = 0.0016 from the Fisher's exact test of WapInt6sh virgins vs WapInt6sh multiparous females (row 3 vs row 5).
hIncludes multiparous FVB/N wild-type littermates resulting from WapInt6sh heterozygous crosses. Each mouse is identified in Additional file 3.
ip = 0.035 from the Fisher's exact test of wild-type multiparous vs WapInt6sh multiparous females (row 4 vs row 5).
jOf the 11 tumors arising in 10 multiparous transgenic females, there were 4 undifferentiated tumors, 5 papillary adenocarcinomas and 2 glandular adenocarcinomas.
kTotal mice included both heterozygous or homozygous WapInt6sh transgenic mice from J1 founder line that lived to tumor age (>12 months) and produced >1 litter.
