Environmental and hereditary factors in the causation of neoplasia, based on studies of the Xiphophorus fish melanoma system
Please always quote using this URN: urn:nbn:de:bvb:20-opus-86402
- Neoplasia in Xiphophorus can be classified into: a) a Jarge group triggered by carcinogens; b) a large group triggered by promoters; and c) a small group that develops "spontaneously" according to Mendelian Jaw. The process leading to susceptibility for neoplasia is represented by the disintegration of gene systems that normally protect the fish from neoplasia. Interpopulational arid interracial hybridization is the most effective process that Ieads to disintegration of the protective gene systems.

The process leading to susceptibility for neoplasia is represented by the disintegration of gene systems that normally protect the fish from neoplasia. Interpopulational arid interracial hybridization is the most effective process that Ieads to disintegration of the protective gene systems. Environmental factors may complete disintegration in somatic cells and thus may trigger neoplasia. The applications of the findings on Xiphophorus to humans are discussed.…
