mortality/aging
• mice have reduced life spans with 50% dying before 14 months of age
|
growth/size/body
• abdomen becomes increasingly distended during aging
|
• 9 of 13 heterozygotes displayed organomegaly of the spleen, lung, liver, stomach, and intestine
|
• 9 of 13 heterozygotes displayed organomegaly of the liver
|
• 9 of 13 heterozygotes displayed organomegaly of the spleen
|
digestive/alimentary system
• 9 of 13 heterozygotes displayed organomegaly of the intestine
|
• 9 of 13 heterozygotes displayed organomegaly of the stomach
|
• at 6 months of age, polyps are observed, and by 6.5 months, approximately 75% of mice have gastrointestinal polyps
• polyps are mainly located at the junction of the pylorus and duodenum with a few found in the antrum and fundus of the stomach
• polyps in the pylorus are large while those in the antrum or fundus are smaller
• large polyps in the pylorus protrude into the duodenum causing gross distention and obstruction
|
neoplasm
• all of the polyps are hamartomas
|
liver/biliary system
• 9 of 13 heterozygotes displayed organomegaly of the liver
|
immune system
• 9 of 13 heterozygotes displayed organomegaly of the spleen
|
hematopoietic system
• 9 of 13 heterozygotes displayed organomegaly of the spleen
