mortality/aging
• median survival time (444 days) is reduced compared to wild-type but increased compared to Trp53 null homozygotes
|
neoplasm
• a variety of B-cell derived tumors are seen in 62% of mutants including follicular, diffuse large cell, and marginal zone as well as plasmacytomas
|
• 3 mutants had sarcomas including 2 with hstiocytic sarcoma and 1 with hemangiosarcoma
• in addition single cases of lung adenoma, lung adenocarcinoma, hepatoma, and hair matrix tumor were seen
