Strain Description: This strain carries a null mutation in the DNA mismatch repair gene Msh3. Cells from mice homozygous for this mutation have only a partial mismatch repair defect. Mice homozygous for this mutation have only a slightly elevated tumor incidence over wild type mice. When combined with Msh6 null mutation, the mice show cancer susceptibility that is similar to that seen in Mlh1 and Msh2 nulls.
