Transgenic mice overexpressing the LH receptor in the female reproductive system spontaneously develop endometrial tumour masses

Abstract The receptor for the luteinizing hormone (LH-R) is aberrantly over expressed in cancers of the reproductive system. To uncover whether LH-R over expression has a causative role in cancer, we generated a transgenic (TG) mouse which overexpresses the human LH-R (hLH-R) in the female reproduct...
