neoplasm
• upon azoxymethane/dextran sodium sulfate (AOM/DSS) challenge, the incidence and size of tumors are increased in mutants compared to similarly treated controls
• tumors exhibit increased cell proliferation and decreased apoptosis compared to control tumors
• about 70% of mice show invasive tumors that penetrate through the muscularis mucosa which is not seen in control tumors
• mice, however, do not display any obvious phenotype or an increase in spontaneous tumor formation
