Histograms of tumor number (A) and gross distribution (B), along with rectal prolapse (C).

Abstract

Statistical confirmation of the dramatic effect of Hltf-deletion on the total number of tumors (A) and on the spatial distribution of tumors (B) is consistent with the complete protrusion of the rectum through the anal canal beyond the anus (C). Values in panels A and B are mean ± SEM. Values with the same letter designation in panel B are not significantly different.</p
