neoplasm
• highly susceptible to ultraviolet-induced carcinogenesis; predominantly form squamous cell carcinomas around the ears
• do not exhibit an increased susceptibility to spontaneous tumor generation at one year of age
|
vision/eye
• ultraviolet irradiation produces frequent eye abnormalities including severe keratitis and corneal ulceration which are not found in controls
|
cellular
• MEFs show a significant decrease in the ability to form colonies compared to wild-type on exposure to ultraviolet light
|
homeostasis/metabolism
• ultraviolet irradiation produces frequent eye abnormalities including severe keratitis and corneal ulceration which are not found in controls
|
integument
• ultraviolet-irradiated mutants show marked hyperplasia of the epidermis with focal areas of hyperkeratosis and varying degrees of dysplasia, acantholysis and/or dyskeratosis
