Deskripsi

SMARCB1 inactivation is prevalent in human atypical teratoid/rhabdoid tumours but a mouse model that accurately phenocopies the human disease is lacking. Here, the authors show that inactivation of SMARCB1between E6 and E10 in mice results in tumours that better recapitulate the human phenotype, compared to previously reported models.
