immune system
N
• proliferating T cells fail to exhibit the same increase in spontaneous apoptosis observed in Brca2tm1Mak/Brca2tm2Mak Tg(Lck-cre)548Jxm mice
• likely due to decreased apoptosis

neoplasm
• tumorigenesis is accelerated compared to in wild-type and Trp53tm1Brd/Trp53tm1Brd Tg(Lck-cre)548Jxm mice but not compared to in Trp53tm1Brd homozygotes
• 90% of mice succumb to T-cell lymphomas compared to 70% of Trp53tm1Brd/Trp53tm1Brd Tg(Lck-cre)548Jxm mice
• mice develop high grade malignancies

cellular
• T cells exhibit increased frequencies of chromatid or chromosomal breaks, tri-radial structures, and chromosomal fragments compared to in Brca2tm1Mak/Brca2tm2Mak Tg(Lck-cre)548Jxm mice or wild-type cells
• thymocytes are resistant to ionizing radiation-induced cell death unlike wild-type cells
• however, response to UV- or methyl methane sulfonate-induced cell death is normal

hematopoietic system
• likely due to decreased apoptosis
