neoplasm
• alpha-actin positive neoplasms arise also at ectopic non-skeletal muscle sites, such as cerebellum, pituitary, esophagus, pancreas and stomach
|
• mutants develop malignant rhabdomyosarcoma arising from trunk and limb skeletal muscle with high penetrance and short latency
• mean age of onset of 3.3 months
|
• 2 of 34 mutants develop malignant melanoma
|
muscle
• myogenic precursors (satellite cells) cultured in fusion media remain poorly differentiated, indicating blocked myogenesis
|
• earlier appearance of hyperplastic satellite cells in skeletal muscle
|
• mutants develop malignant rhabdomyosarcoma arising from trunk and limb skeletal muscle with high penetrance and short latency
• mean age of onset of 3.3 months
