• at E13.5, E15.5, and P5, mice exhibit resistance to ionizing radiation-induced apoptosis in the retina and dentate gyrus compared to wild-type mice
• ionizing radiation-induced apoptosis in the thymus is reduced compared to in wild-type mice
• however, ionizing radiation-induced apoptosis in the proliferating embryonic ventricular zone is normal

cellular
• checkpoint defects; MEFs fail to arrest or suffer attrition either in S phase or at the G2/M border (J:87088)
• MEFs exhibit defects in G1/S, intra-S-phase, and G2/M checkpoints after ionizing radiation induced DNA damage (J:103922)
• mouse embryonic fibroblasts (MEFs) are sensitive to ionizing radiation (J:87088)
• MEFs exhibit increased sensitivity to ionizing radiation (J:103922)
• passage 7 MEFs show chromosomal instability; 43% vs. 19% of wild-type metaphases contain at least 1 aberration and the number of aberrations per metaphase is increased
• 33% of early passage MEFs (p3) and 65% of late passage (greater than 5) MEFs show aberrant metaphases
• translocasions and fusions are seen in 5 of 32 early and 7 of 27 late passage MEFs
• 18% of metaphases in splenocyte cultures exhibit aberrations
• MEFs are hypersensitive to irradiation-induced chromosome breakage
• embryonic viability is drastically reduced in homozygous mothers but not in heterozygous intercrosses, indicating a maternal effect on viability

• inspite of cell cycle checkpoint failure and chromosomal instability, mice are not prone to malignancy including lymphomagenesis
