liver/biliary system
• multiple liver neoplasms are seen in 37% of mice
• most affected mice present hyperplastic nodules and/or adenomas
|
• malignant hepatoblastomas are seen in 10% of mice
|
reproductive system
• severely reduced cellularity
|
small testis
(
J:209141
)
• 2-fold smaller than in mutant mice heterozygous for Atmtm1Awb
|
• decrease in the number of meiotic cells
|
• increase in the number of primitive precursors, decrease in the number of meiotic cells and no increase in cell death is consistent with a block in spematogonial differentiation
|
• 27% of females are infertile
|
• 73% of females produce fewer and smaller litters
|
• 73% of females produce fewer and smaller litters
|
• all males are infertile
|
hematopoietic system
• a 50% reduction in the colony forming ability of multipotent precursors
|
• altered LSK population with an expansion of the multipotent precursors
• no increase in proximal descendants of the multipotent precursors is detected
|
nervous system
