homeostasis/metabolism
• mice eat significantly more food compared with normal siblings when metabolic body weight is considered
|
neoplasm
• 9 percent of mice develop epithelial tumors which are normally rare, not exceeding 1 percent, in mice in general
|
• total tumor incidence for the background strain is 84.1 percent for males and 95.9 percent for females; tumor incidence in homozygous mutant males and females is 36.1 percent and 45.0 percent respectively
• most common are lymphomas, osteomas, lung tumors, and neoplasms specific to the female genital tract

• revealed by histological analysis
|
• around the eyes
|
• mice may lose their hair before the second hair cycle starts so may be hairless between 3 and 8 weeks of age
|
• many mice lose their hair before the second hair cycle starts; other hair cycles seem normal
|
rough coat
(
J:64455
)
• affected mice can be identified around 5 days of age; their seemingly normal coat feels rough
|
greasy coat
(

• many mice lose their hair before the second hair cycle starts; other hair cycles seem normal
• second hair cycle may be delayed
