mortality/aging
• similar to Rb1tm1Tyj heterozygotes, mice heterozygous for both Rb1tm1Tyj and Rbl1tm1Tyj die from tumors in the intermediate lobe of the pituitary gland at ~12 months of age
|
neoplasm
• double heterozygotes develop large pituitary tumors of the intermediate lobe that are comparable to those arising in single Rb1tm1Tyj heterozygotes with respect to both incidence and size
• such pituitary tumors are shown to arise from cells in which the wild-type allele of Rb1 is absent, whereas the wild-type allele of Rbl1 is retained
|
endocrine/exocrine glands
• double heterozygotes develop large pituitary tumors of the intermediate lobe that are comparable to those arising in single Rb1tm1Tyj heterozygotes with respect to both incidence and size
• such pituitary tumors are shown to arise from cells in which the wild-type allele of Rb1 is absent, whereas the wild-type allele of Rbl1 is retained

nervous system
• double heterozygotes develop large pituitary tumors of the intermediate lobe that are comparable to those arising in single Rb1tm1Tyj heterozygotes with respect to both incidence and size
• such pituitary tumors are shown to arise from cells in which the wild-type allele of Rb1 is absent, whereas the wild-type allele of Rbl1 is retained
